Signs You Need Furnace Repair in Northeastern Ohio
What may appear to be a minor inconvenience with your furnace can quickly become a costly repair or pose a danger to the health and safety of your family. When you detect any type of problem with your furnace, it is important to call Kobella right away for professional diagnosis and repair. Warning signs include:
- Lack of Heat: Before you call for furnace repair, check the batteries in your programmable thermostat, make sure it is in “Heat” mode, and that the setpoint is several degrees higher than the current temperature in the room.
- Loud or Unusual Noises: Banging, clanking, squealing, grinding, or other strange noises coming from your furnace are a sign that something is amiss. Discontinue use and call for immediate repair to prevent further damage or harm to your home and family.
- Strange Odors: The first time you turn on your furnace after the end of the cooling season, you may notice a temporary, faint odor as the dust which has settled is burned up. While this is no cause for alarm, the smell of gas or a musty odor indicating there may be mold in your HVAC system both require immediate attention. If you smell gas evacuate your home, and call Kobella for emergency repair.
- Decreased Airflow: A weak flow of air from your supply vents may be caused by a clogged air filter or numerous other issues with your furnace. Change your filter if needed, and if that doesn’t resolve the problem call Kobella for expert diagnosis and repair.
- Increased Energy Bills: If the cost of heating your home has risen over the last few years, your furnace may be losing efficiency due to age, or be in need of furnace maintenance or repair.
- Uneven Temperatures: If one or more rooms in your home are hotter or colder than the others, your furnace may be improperly sized for your home or struggling to keep up with demand. The experts at Kobella will make recommendations for furnace replacement or repair to restore comfort to your home.

FAQs
Why does my furnace keep turning on and off?
This is a problem called short-cycling, and it can result from a few different root causes. If your furnace is too big for your home, this will happen often, as your furnace blasts out intense heat, warms the thermostat but maybe not your entire home, then the heat spreads out, and the cycle repeats. Issues with flame sensors, thermostats, and ventilation can all lead to the same issue via different means. In all cases, it needs attention.
How long do furnaces last?
Furnaces often last between 10 and 15 years, with any furnace past 15 usually being inefficient, weaker than it used to be, and prone to needing repairs. Of course, some furnaces will fail much earlier, while others seem fine as they reach venerable ages. The variance comes down to annual maintenance, usage habits, the quality of the system, and a bit of luck.
