Signs your Furnace Needs Repair

A furnace is still one of the most popular heating systems used in Idaho. However, without regular maintenance, it begins to show signs of wear-and-tear and is less energy-efficient:

• Strange noises. Loud banging, squealing, or excessive rattling noises are a sure-sign that a component needs repair or lubrication. Constant powering on and off of the blower while puffing cold air indicates a major problem.
• Spike in utility bills. Have your monthly bills increased lately without a reasonable explanation? An old or improperly maintained furnace requires more energy to heat your home.
• Poor air quality and circulation. An older furnace is ill-equipped to properly humidify your home resulting in drier, dustier air. You may have also noticed that some rooms in your home are warmer than others due to poor circulation.
• Yellow flame instead of blue (gas furnace). If you’ve noticed the color of the burner flame on your gas-powered furnace is yellow instead of the normal blue color, it may be a sign of a carbon monoxide leak. Contact a technician immediately and ventilate your home.

Get Year-Round Climate Control with a Heat Pump

The temperatures in Idaho are fairly mild year-round, even in the winter time, so a heat pump is an ideal heating solution here. A heat pump system is an environmentally-friendly way to heat your home. Instead of using up energy to generate new heat, a heat pump is essentially a heat transfer system, extracting existing heat in its surroundings (air, ground, or water) and transferring this heat to your home.

A heat pump uses an evaporator coil and a condenser coil to absorb and release heat. In the summer months, a heat pump is fully-reversible allowing it to act as a cooling system. Did you know there are many federal tax incentives and rebates if you choose to install an eco-friendly heat pump system? Enjoy the energy savings and reduced carbon footprint of a heat pump.
