Why Is My Furnace Blowing Cold Air?

A furnace blowing cold air can be caused by a faulty thermostat, a clogged air filter, or an issue with the ignition system. If the pilot light is out or the burners are dirty, your furnace may fail to produce heat properly. A professional inspection can identify the issue and restore warm air to your home.

What Should I Do If My Furnace Won’t Turn On?

First, check your thermostat settings, circuit breaker, and air filter to rule out simple fixes. If the furnace still won’t start, it could be due to a faulty ignition system, a broken blower motor, or an electrical issue. A trained technician can diagnose the problem and get your furnace running again.

How Can I Tell If My Furnace Needs a Repair?

Signs of furnace trouble include uneven heating, strange noises, frequent cycling, or an unexplained increase in energy bills. If you notice weak airflow, cold spots, or unusual odors, your system may need servicing. Addressing small issues early can prevent costly breakdowns and extend the life of your furnace.

Why Does My Furnace Keep Shutting Off?

A furnace that turns off too frequently may have a clogged air filter, a malfunctioning thermostat, or an overheating issue. Short cycling can reduce efficiency and put extra strain on the system. A professional tune-up can help resolve the issue and keep your furnace running smoothly.

What Causes a Burning Smell When I Turn On My Furnace?

A burning smell when starting your furnace is often due to dust buildup burning off the heating elements. This smell should fade after a few hours, but if it persists, it could indicate an electrical issue or overheating. Regular maintenance helps prevent odors and ensures safe furnace operation.

Can a Dirty Filter Cause My Furnace to Stop Working?

Yes, a clogged air filter restricts airflow, making your furnace work harder and potentially causing it to overheat or shut down. A dirty filter can also reduce efficiency, increase energy costs, and affect indoor air quality. Replacing the filter regularly helps maintain optimal furnace performance.

Why Is My Furnace Making Loud Noises?

Loud noises like banging, rattling, or screeching can indicate a loose or broken component, such as a failing blower motor or an unbalanced fan. Whistling sounds may suggest restricted airflow due to a clogged filter or duct issue. A professional inspection can pinpoint the cause and prevent further damage.

How Long Does a Furnace Repair Take?

The time required for a furnace repair depends on the complexity of the issue. Simple repairs like thermostat adjustments or filter replacements can take less than an hour, while more extensive fixes, such as blower motor or heat exchanger repairs, may take longer. A skilled technician can provide an accurate estimate after diagnosing the problem.

I woke up to a freezing house..thermostat reading 42°, the boiler cold & silent. I’ve used Roy’s in the past & from beginning to end everyone is always friendly and professional. From the woman who took the-initial call, caring enough to ask questions so she could schedule the technicians who had the expertise & experience working with older steam boilers. Mike & Gabriel diagnosed the problem,,replaced the part & had it up and running in no time at all. They were both , personable, professional, & knowledgeable.

All of the crew were very well mannered, educated in their craft, and completed the job in a timely fashion. It started out with a clogged sewer pipe and ended up with new piping. I have dealt with them on and off for a couple months and have always had a pleasurable experience And an honest one in regards to prices and quotes. I highly recommend them.

The previous owners had Roy’s install the hot water heater. It finally died on Sunday and they came out the next day. Within 48 hours of coming home to water leaking out, we had a whole new setup! All the technicians were great to work with, very clean. Impressed with their install, price and warranty.

We had to make an emergency service call recently for a major clog in our plumbing that was causing a huge backup and water to come down from our second floor bathrooms, inside the walls, through our ceiling and vents, and ultimately down to our basement. Needless to say it was a mess and a very stressful situation. We were able to get a same day appointment and Josh B showed up. He was amazing. He was not only polite and friendly, and reassured us with his credentials and experience - but did a thorough job identifying and explaining the issue. He was able to get everything fixed for us, and all with a smile and friendly attitude, despite it being a challenging last call of the day on a Friday. I would never hesitate to call Roy’s again for any plumbing needs, and while I’m sure everyone there is great, I’d request Josh again with confidence.
