Unusual Noises<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>When your furnace is running as it should, it will be fairly quiet. Other than the sound of it starting up and the gentle whoosh of air from the vents, a furnace shouldn\u2019t make other noises. That\u2019s why when you hear an unfamiliar sound such as banging, rattling, screeching, or squeaking, it can be quite startling.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Depending on the noise, there could be several different issues. For example, squeaking usually means a fan belt is loose. You will hear a sound somewhat similar to the noise your car would make when a belt is loose. Rattling could mean a part is loose and banging could be a loose part that is hitting other parts. No matter the noise, it should be addressed promptly so it doesn\u2019t turn into a major issue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>2. Inconsistent Heating<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Inconsistent heating throughout your home can be frustrating. When you\u2019re avoiding certain rooms or spaces that are noticeably colder, your furnace isn\u2019t able to adequately heat your entire home. Inconsistent heating can be caused by different issues, so rather than trying to troubleshoot the problem yourself, it\u2019s best to call us so we can accurately diagnose it and recommend a repair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>3. Weak Airflow and Cold Air<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For weak airflow, the first thing you can check yourself is the furnace filter. Your furnace needs a clean filter in order to generate strong airflow. However, if the problem is cold air, there\u2019s something keeping your furnace from heating properly.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>4. Short Cycling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Short cycling occurs when a furnace turns on and off frequently without completing a heating cycle. You will notice that the furnace seems to be running constantly but your home isn\u2019t getting to the temperature you set on the thermostat. When your furnace runs constantly, not only is it wasting gas or electricity, but it\u2019s incredibly hard on the system. Contact us for a repair to avoid a huge utility bill and a reduced furnace lifespan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2>5. Yellow or Flickering Flame<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have a furnace that is powered by natural gas, checking the color of the flame periodically is a good idea. A properly functioning gas furnace should have steady blue flames. If you notice yellow or orange flames, or flames that are flickering, this means that something is interfering with the combustion process. Whenever there\u2019s an issue with a gas appliance, it\u2019s advisable to turn off the system and call for repairs promptly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you notice any of these issues, contacting us at the first sign of trouble is key to keeping the problem from escalating into a potentially expensive repair or inconvenient breakdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><a href=\"\/contact\/send-message\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong>Schedule an appointment<\/strong><\/a><strong> for furnace repair in Gillette, WY with the team at Climate Solutions, Inc.
