Is Your Furnace Failing? Key Warning Signs
Furnace problems often give warning signs before a complete breakdown. Paying attention to those signs can help prevent a total loss of heat.
Common reasons homeowners call for furnace repair include:
- No heat at all, or the furnace will not stay on
- Loud or unusual noises such as banging, grinding, or squealing
- Short cycling, where the system turns on and off without warming the home
- A thermostat that is set correctly but rooms stay cold
- Burning or musty smells that do not go away
- Yellow pilot light or the smell of gas in gas furnaces
If you notice gas odors or suspect a safety issue, shut the system down and call for emergency furnace repair immediately.
Rapid Response: How Fayette Heating Restores Your Heat
When you call for furnace repair, timing matters. We focus on quick response and clear communication from the first call through the repair.
Our process typically includes:
- Immediate dispatch of a local furnace repair technician
- Full diagnostic and safety check of the system
- Clear explanation of what is causing the issue
- Upfront recommendation before any repair work begins
- Professional repair using quality parts stocked on our trucks
We focus on fixing the root cause of the problem, not just getting the system running temporarily.
Repair or Replace? Our Honest Recommendation
Not every furnace problem means replacement is necessary. In many cases, furnace repair is the right solution. In others, continuing to repair an aging system may not be the best long-term choice.
When helping homeowners decide, we look at two main factors:
- The age and overall condition of the furnace
- The severity of the current repair compared to overall system performance
If a furnace is older and facing major component issues, replacement may be worth considering. If the system is otherwise in good shape, repair often makes sense. Our role is to explain the situation clearly so you can make an informed decision without pressure.

- Thermostat: $200 – $1,000

How long does a furnace repair take?
Depending on the scale of repairs, the process can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 10 hours. Simple repairs should take no time at all, but complex repairs and replacements can take quite a few hours. It’s rare for installation or replacement to take longer than 10 hours at most.
How do I know if my furnace needs repair?
Strange smells, yellow pilot lights, inadequate heating, loud noises, and a tripped carbon monoxide detector can all signal a need for furnace repair or replacement. If your furnace simply will not start, then repair or replacement is necessary.
What should I do if my furnace stops working?
If your furnace stops working, you should first check on your electricity. If your power isn’t out and the furnace is receiving electricity, check your thermostat. If your thermostat seems to be working, inspect your furnace, safely checking the following: the shutoff switch, blower motor, furnace filter, pilot light, and outdoor vents.
