Duane Blanton Family Home Services Discusses Furnace Issue Warning Signs

With an expansion of the HVAC services being offered by Duane Blanton Family Home Services, and in response to the continued inclement winter weather plaguing much of Illinois and the Midwest in general, Duane Blanton Family Home Services is encouraging home owners to be proactive in diagnosing furnace issues as early as possible.

As a resource for homeowners who are unsure of what to look for from their furnaces, Duane Blanton Family Home Services has put out several articles on their blog to help facilitate homeowner preparedness, including “5 Warning Signs That Your Furnace Needs Some Help”, “5 Common Furnace Issues and How to Fix Them”, and “Is Your Furnace Noisy? It May be Time For a Replacement”.

Some of the most common furnace issues discussed by Duane Blanton include:

• Being aware of how old a furnace is, as most furnaces need to be replaced every 15–20 years
• Whether cold air is coming from the vents when the heat is on, as this is a sign of an internal issue within the furnace, such as a faulty fan motor or heat exchanger
• Changing out the air filters regularly to ensure that the air filter within the furnace is clean. Dirty air filters will cause a furnace to struggle and run harder than is necessary
• Making sure the furnace’s thermostat is working, because if not, then the furnace is unable to regulate its internal temperature, and will not provide heat when needed
