Common Furnace Issues

If you’ve been keeping up with your furnace maintenance schedule, your heating system should last you a good 15-20 years. However, sometimes parts wear down, resulting in Ottawa homeowners who have to look into furnace repair and even looking to replace their broken furnace.

Before you buy a new furnace, reach out to our experts who specialize in furnace repair and furnace maintenance. We’ll diagnose and fix any issue your home heating system might be experiencing.

Furnace Loud Noises

A noisy furnace can be disruptive and indicative of underlying issues. A furnace emitting loud and unsettling noises can be indicative of various underlying issues. Rattling sounds often signal loose components or a failing blower motor. Banging or thumping noises might be due to an unbalanced blower wheel or a problem with the furnace’s ignition. High-pitched squealing can be attributed to a worn-out or malfunctioning belt. Ignoring these sounds can lead to further damage and potentially costly repairs.

At Ottawa Home Services, our skilled technicians have a keen ear for identifying these auditory warnings. Through thorough diagnostics and precise repairs, we address the root cause of the noise, ensuring your furnace operates quietly and efficiently. Our commitment is not only to silence the immediate issue but also to prevent future disruptions, providing you with a peaceful and warm home environment.

Furnace Leaking Water

Finding water around your furnace can be a cause for concern. This issue could arise from a condensate leak, a clogged condensate line, or even a malfunctioning humidifier. Ignoring the presence of water can lead to corrosion, electrical issues, and even mold growth.

At Ottawa Home Services, we take swift action to identify the source of the leak and implement the necessary furnace repair strategy. Our technicians are equipped with the knowledge and tools to address both immediate concerns and underlying causes. By rectifying the leak and ensuring proper drainage, we safeguard your furnace’s integrity and your home’s safety.

Furnace Turning On & Off

If your furnace is cycling on and off frequently, it can lead to inefficiency and discomfort in your home. Frequent cycling of your furnace, a phenomenon known as short cycling, not only disrupts your comfort but also strains the system, potentially leading to premature wear and tear. This issue can be triggered by a variety of factors, including a clogged filter, malfunctioning thermostat, or even an improperly sized furnace. Addressing short cycling promptly is crucial to prevent further damage and maintain energy efficiency.

At Ottawa Home Services, we delve into the intricate workings of your furnace to identify the specific cause of short cycling. Whether it’s a simple adjustment or a more complex repair, our technicians are adept at providing tailored solutions. By resolving the root issue, we ensure your furnace operates smoothly, minimizing energy wastage and maximizing your home’s comfort.

Most Importantly, You Get Peace of Mind

Before we send a team to your home, you’ll receive an email confirming the expectations for your furnace service appointment, complete with the names and pictures of the technicians performing the work. You’ll get added security by knowing who to expect.

We also follow up with you to ensure you’ve been taken care of in a professional and courteous manner—and use this feedback to constantly improve our company and the services we deliver. If you’re not 100% satisfied with your Ottawa Home Service experience, we’ll do everything we can to make things right.

“The humidifier on my furnace was leaking. Kris arrived on time, was professional, took time to explain the problem and fixed it. He recorded the number of the humidifier filter and made a note to have the next year’s technician bring one with him and instal it at the same time as he/she cleans the furnace. Excellent service.”
