Signs of Furnace Issues

A furnace usually shows signs of trouble before it fails completely. Homeowners in Washington often notice:

  • Unusual noises, such as banging, rattling, or squealing
  • Some rooms staying warm while others remain cold
  • Weak airflow from vents
  • The system cycling on and off more often than usual
  • A thermostat that does not match the temperature in your home
  • A rise in energy bills without an increase in use
  • Air that feels cool instead of warm

If you notice any of these issues, scheduling furnace repair quickly can prevent a bigger breakdown.

Most Common Furnace Issues

Our technicians see many of the same problems in Washington homes. These include:

  • Dirty or clogged filters restricting airflow
  • Ignition or pilot problems that keep the system from starting
  • Thermostat malfunctions affecting temperature control
  • Blower components or belts wearing out
  • Limit switch issues that cause the blower to run constantly
  • Cracks in heat exchangers creating safety risks
  • Leaky or blocked ductwork reducing system efficiency

Knowing these common issues can help you understand when to call for professional heating repair.

How Furnaces Are Repaired

Every repair begins with a careful inspection. Our technicians listen to your concerns, check the system, and run diagnostics to locate the issue. 

Repairs may involve replacing filters, repairing electrical connections, cleaning burners, fixing ignition systems, or adjusting mechanical parts.

When parts are too worn or damaged, they are replaced with components designed to restore safe, efficient operation. The goal is always to get your system running again quickly while protecting its long-term performance.

Importance of Regular Maintenance

Routine maintenance is the best way to reduce repairs and extend the life of your furnace. An annual tune-up helps identify small issues before they become major problems, improves efficiency, and ensures safe operation.

In Washington, the damp climate can add strain to heating systems, making maintenance even more important. 

Dust, moisture, and clogged filters are common here, and they all make equipment work harder than it should. Regular service gives you confidence that your furnace will be ready when you need it most.

FAQs

This could be caused by clogged filters, ignition problems, or issues with the ductwork. A professional inspection is the best way to pinpoint the cause.

Common signs include loud noises, uneven heating, short cycling, higher utility bills, or a furnace that struggles to turn on.

Check your thermostat settings and circuit breaker. If it still will not start, call a professional to diagnose the issue safely.

At least once a year, ideally in the fall before heavy use. Annual service keeps your furnace efficient and dependable.

Furnace repair is part of HVAC repair. HVAC covers heating, ventilation, and cooling systems as a whole.

With regular maintenance, most furnaces last 15 to 20 years. The damp climate in the Puget Sound can shorten that lifespan if systems are not serviced regularly.

Real Comments From Real People

So Very Impressed

- Debbie F.

Diamond Harris was the HVAC Design who came to my house to give me an estimate for a tankless water heater. I was so very impressed. His customer service, extensive knowledge, and professionalism certainly earn the grade of an A+. A true reflection on black hills Inc.'s hiring practice of hiring and retaining only the best employees. My estimate included not only the tankless water heater but the full installation. Diamond Harris is an asset to your company. Black hills inc was referred to me by my parents who had 3 major projects completed by black hills Inc., and loved working with them. With employees like Diamond, I now see why. Such a positive experience. Thank you. Please give my sincere thank-you to Diamond

Awesome Customer Service

- Lillian B.

We spoke to 3 different companies to get an estimate for a new system. Black Hills was the only company that did exactly what they said they would do from the start. I appreciate the text/photo letting me know who would be arriving and he came right on time. Travis was very polite and professional and answered all of our questions. The installation crew was also very quick and professional and cleaned up afterward. Follow-ups to make sure we were happy with service also appreciated. Awesome customer service

Great Service

- Jordon C.

Great service, No BS. Our AC was not keeping up, had a feeling it was because of a leaking coil on the inner unit. Was confirmed by Black Hills Inc. and was set-up with an appointment with a comfort specialist. After the survey with the specialist (Bento Yanez), we sat down and discussed options for replacement, turning out that full replacement with a heat pump/ac/new furnace would be the most efficient cost-effective option. Black Hills was able to access all the previous history on our unit since prior homeowners had used them, they could pull up everything that had previous work done. Looking forward to the replacement unit being installed in only 4 days, after the survey.
