Signs That You Need Furnace Maintenance

Wondering if it’s time to schedule maintenance? Here are a few key signs:

  • Rising Energy Bills: If you notice a sudden spike in your heating costs, it could indicate that your furnace is struggling to perform efficiently.
  • Uneven Heating: Cold spots or inconsistent heating often signal that the furnace needs servicing.
  • Unusual Noises: Banging, rattling, or whistling sounds can indicate loose or malfunctioning parts.
  • Short-Cycling: When your furnace turns on and off frequently, it may be due to an issue that maintenance can resolve.
  • Dusty or Poor Air Quality: If your indoor air seems dustier than usual, it may be time to clean or replace the filters and components within the furnace.

If you’re experiencing any of these issues, it’s a good time to schedule a furnace checkup with GEM.
