Does Your Furnace Need Repairs?
The clearest sign that something is wrong with your furnace is when it stops working - but by then, you’re dealing with a stressful situation. So how can you tell when a furnace repair is needed? Pay attention to the signs!
- Old Systems: Like all household systems and appliances, they don’t last forever. If the system is nearing or has exceeded the 15-year mark, there is a good chance it may be suffering from wear and tear.
- Rising Energy Bill: If recent heating patterns and habits haven’t increased but the bill has, it is possible that an upgrade is in the near future. As time goes on, the internal parts for the system wear and provide less efficient heating. Keep an eye out for any unusual spikes in electricity or gas bills.
- Pilot Light Issues: The yellow flame definitely means that your system is not burning as clean and efficient as it could; however, it may also mean that the system is producing carbon monoxide. If this is the case, it is very dangerous and needs to be fixed as soon as possible as it can be deadly.
- Strange Noises: Sometimes odd noises are typical for your home, but certain noises can indicate an issue. Rattling, popping, or banging could mean that the furnace is on its last leg. Monitor if the noises get any worse or any of the above signs are also occurring.
If you’ve encountered any of the above-mentioned issues, do not hesitate to call Tiger Temperature to help you as soon as possible.
The Pros of Upgrading your Heating Services
While some heating upgrades are necessary to ensure your house is heated, some are less required and more recommended. It’s important to consider upgrades for comfort, efficiency, and a potentially lower heating bill.
Most notably, the newer the system, the more efficient it is. This means lower heating costs and a better system for the environment. Also, with newer systems comes newer technology which means you can benefit from programmable thermostats, so no more freezing mornings!
While a heater replacement can be a challenging situation, especially if it’s unexpected, it can add some value to your home as well. Not only will the lower energy costs help pay for the unit, but it can be an attractive selling point if you’re planning on selling your home.

Everyone Should Keep Up On Heating Maintenance
Regular, once a year maintenance appointments are important to ensure that your heating system runs smoothly. At Tiger Temperature, we provide a membership program called Tiger Den to ensure you keep up with maintenance for your home heating system with two tiers based on lifestyle and preference. These appointments check wear and tear and extend the life of your heating system providing long term financial benefits.
As a rule of thumb, you should always shoot to have your furnace or heater inspected before the winter season. Not only does this give you peace of mind, but also it lets our Gray furnace contractors address any issues before they become emergencies.
At Tiger Temperature, we provide quality service while maintaining honest and upfront pricing; nothing will ever be a surprise with us!
