8 Ways to Tell if It’s Time For Furnace Repair

1. Some areas of your home are stubbornly cold.

Your furnace should heat your entire home. If it doesn’t and some areas in your home are too cold, call one of our HVAC technicians for furnace maintenance or repair.

2. Your home’s energy bills increase suddenly.

If you aren’t using your furnace more, but your home heating bills are rising much more than they should, it could be that your furnace is struggling and needs repair.

3. Unusual sounds come from the furnace.

All heating and cooling systems make some noise, but if your furnace starts to make odd noises—especially grinding—it’s a sign you need it examined by an expert.

4. Your furnace constantly turns off and on.

Called short cycling, a furnace that is constantly starting and stopping instead of turning on and completing its cycle most likely requires repair from a skilled HVAC technician like the team members at North Mechanical Heating and Cooling.

5. The heating system won’t power up.

If your furnace will not start, that’s without a doubt a sign you should get HVAC repair. If it turns out you need furnace replacement, our heating specialists in Payson can help you choose a new energy-efficient furnace that’s a good match for your home.

6. Water leaking around your heating and cooling system.

Any type of water leaking from your furnace is a sign there’s something wrong that needs prompt HVAC repair. We’ll provide a diagnosis and present your repair options, so you can choose which option is best for your home and budget.

7. There’s a weird smell coming from your heating system.

Furnaces shouldn’t cause unpleasant odors. If there’s a persistent nasty smell coming from your furnace, it’s a sign you need repair. If you think you smell gas or a sulfur smell, it could be a gas leak and calls for immediate action: evacuate your home right away and contact us for help once you are safe.

8. Insufficient airflow out of your home’s vents.

From problems with your ductwork to something wrong with the blower motor or a clogged furnace filter, insufficient or weak airflow from vents could be caused by a number of problems that may need HVAC repair, system maintenance or furnace installation.

Furnace Repair FAQs

Common signs include cold spots, unusual noises like banging, squealing, or rattling, short cycling, burning or musty odors that don’t go away, or higher-than-expected heating costs. If your system struggles to maintain temperature, it’s smart to schedule a diagnostic.

If you smell gas or a CO detector alerts, shut the system down, leave the home, and call your gas utility and a licensed HVAC professional. For non-emergency issues, it’s often okay to use the system cautiously, but it may lead to a bigger repair.
This can happen due to thermostat settings, restricted airflow, ignition issues, a dirty flame sensor, or overheating that triggers a safety limit. A technician can pinpoint the cause and recommend the right fix.
Many repairs can be completed in a single appointment, but the timeline depends on the issue, system accessibility, and whether components are in stock. After diagnosing the problem, your technician can give you a realistic timeframe.
A furnace may be a better candidate for replacement if it breaks down often, is near the end of its expected service life, or has a costly failure. If the problem is isolated and the system has been well maintained, repair is often the most practical route. A pro can help you weigh efficiency, reliability, and long-term costs.
