Central Heating Installation

Rising Energy Bills: Let’s say your typical winter gas or electric bill is $100. That bill includes your furnace, and everything powered by gas or electricity. If the bill suddenly skyrockets to $150 or $200, then an inefficient, aging, or broken furnace could be to blame. Some fluctuations in monthly bills are normal, but not to that extent.

Uneven Heating: You’re comfortable and toasty reading a book in your living room, but you want to put on a pair of socks. So, you walk to the bedroom. Does it seem noticeably colder in there than in the living room? Furnaces should heat all rooms equally, with little to no variances. Cold spots are a tell-tale sign of a failing furnace.

Noisiness: Is your furnace waking you up with banging and clanking sounds? It shouldn’t be. No furnace will ever be completely silent, but you should never hear unusual noises such as rattles, buzzes, or hums. All of these noises indicate problems, such as loose parts or broken equipment.

Unusual Smells: If you have a gas furnace, you might smell some gas as the furnace kicks in, but the smell should not persist. If it does, you should contact Allen Service immediately. There could be a gas leak or some other less significant problem.

Frequent Repairs: Manufacturers design furnaces with the long haul in mind. In other words, you shouldn’t have to call Allen Service for frequent repairs to your furnace. Usually, as a heating system ages, things begin to break or wear out. Furnace repairs can be expensive, so there comes a point where it makes more financial sense to purchase a new unit.
