GAS FURNACES

Now You’re Cookin With Gas

When it comes to furnaces, the gas furnace is one of the most common you’ll come across. This heating system uses natural gas to generate heat and distribute it throughout your home. It consists of a burner, heat exchanger, and blower motor that work together to provide warmth during cold weather.

Types of Gas Furnaces

Single-Stage Gas Furnace:

Operates at full capacity (on or off). Simple and reliable, ideal for mild climates.

Two-Stage Gas Furnace:

Offers two levels of heat output (low and high). More energy efficient, providing better temperature control and comfort.

Modulating Gas Furnace:

Uses variable-speed technology to adjust the heating output gradually. Provides the highest level of efficiency and comfort.

High-Efficiency Gas Furnace:

Has an AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) rating of 90% or higher. Uses less fuel to produce more heat, saving energy and lowering utility bills.

Why It’s Good To Have Gas

Why Gas Furnaces Are Important

Efficient Heating

They provide consistent and cost-effective heat during winter months.

Energy Efficiency

Newer models reduce energy consumption, leading to lower utility bills.

Reliability

Gas furnaces are known for their durability and ability to heat large spaces effectively.

Comfort

Helps maintain a comfortable indoor temperature throughout the home.

What’s Your Sign?

Signs You Might Need Furnace Repair

Strange Noises:

Rattling, squealing, or banging noises may indicate mechanical problems, like a loose part or failing blower motor.

Increased Energy Bills:

A sudden spike in your gas or electricity bills could suggest that your furnace is working harder than it should, possibly due to inefficient operation.

Abnormal Odors:

Coming from the heating system can indicate a buildup of dust, debris, or mold or a potentially dangerous gas leak.

Gas Leaks/Carbon Monoxide Alarm Alerts:

Evident by a sulfur odor, hissing sounds from gas lines, abnormal furnace flame or pilot light behavior, and more.

Frequent Cycling:

If the furnace is constantly turning on and off, this could be a sign of an issue with the thermostat or airflow.

Water leaks:

Liquid next to your furnace can be a sign of a drainage system or evaporator coil problem.

Uneven Heating:

If there is uneven heating throughout your home, it can be a sign that your furnace is in need of maintenance or repair.

Poor Air Quality:

If you notice more dust, humidity, or odors in the air, your furnace’s filters, ducts, or heat exchanger may need cleaning or repair.
