For optimal performance during the colder months, you should check and replace your furnace filter every one to three months, especially if you have pets or live in a dusty area.
A burning smell when you first turn on the furnace is usually just dust burning off. Oftentimes, the first time you turn on your furnace for the season, you might notice a burning odor from dust accumulation. However, persistent odors could very well indicate overheating or electrical issues and should be addressed by DJs Home Services professionals right away.
For a balance of comfort and efficiency, our experts generally recommend a setting of 68 degrees Fahrenheit while you’re home and awake, and slightly lower while you’re asleep or away. The exact temperature will depend on your preferences and heating system of course, but generally speaking, it’s best to keep your thermostat somewhere between 68 and 73 degrees Fahrenheit.
Banging, rattling, or squealing noises from your furnace can signal a variety of issues such as loose parts, a failing blower motor, or ignition problems. It’s best to call (763) 220-1721 to schedule a prompt furnace repair.
Regular furnace maintenance, sealing drafts, and using a programmable thermostat can help reduce your energy consumption and save on heating bills.
A very common winter issue for many furnaces is failure to provide the cozy warmth you’ve come to expect. This could be due to a dirty filter, a malfunctioning thermostat, or issues with the pilot light or burners. In any case, you will need a DJs Home Services certified technician to assess your furnace and diagnose the underlying issues.
Even when your home furnace system is still heating your home, there are common warning signs DJs Home Services knows to look for. If you notice any of the following, a heating system problem may be present and it’s time to call the professionals at DJs Home Services for a broken furnace repair:
Is your home furnace unit on but not giving off enough heat on a cold Monticello, MN winter’s day? Your furnace may have a clogged, dirty air filter, which is one of the main causes of a furnace breakdown.
Your gas furnace could be experiencing a thermostat failure or malfunction. A faulty thermostat can lead to fan, pilot light, power, or gas issues and ruin the comfort of your home. Restore comfort levels by giving DJs Home Services a call to get a furnace repair diagnostic before any work is done.
Over time, changes in temperature may cause your gas furnace’s heat exchanger to crack, a potentially very dangerous situation, as cracks can allow carbon monoxide to seep into your home. Call a DJs Home Services furnace expert right away to have your home’s furnace professionally diagnosed & repaired.
If your furnace isn’t turning on at all, a common explanation is an issue with your pilot light or electronic ignition. Older furnace heating systems with a pilot light that continues to go out may seem like a small problem, but it can actually be wasting a lot of money and cause an increase on your monthly Monticello, MN gas bill. As the weather gets colder, a flickering pilot light will make your furnace work harder and cause unnecessary wear and tear, resulting in a more costly bill.
