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.

Fiushed my water heater. Done a great job. Very polite. Had to call Roy's. My basement water coming up the drain. Josh B came out. Josh and Eric B.jetted my clean out pipe. Found my sewer had dropped six inches. Which means had to dig up and get sewer rerouted. Josh did an excellent job laying out what needed to be done. Plus had to relocate my sump pump drain. Got everything together. Next day the whole team came out and got started. One crew in basement. Other crew outside. What a BIG job. They all worked together. Everyone of the guys were great. If I could give them 10 stars I would. You want a job done the right way. Call Roy's plumbing.

Josh B came out to my house to provide an estimate for a few projects. Off the bat, he was professional and explained his background which instilled my trust in his expertise. He was patient when I asked a bunch of questions and gave some advice on items that we didn’t necessarily need to hire him for. The icing on the cake was that he brought in my recycling bin from the street! My husband and I will be using Roy’s for our garage project because of how great Josh was. Highly recommend!

I had Josh B. And Owen A. as technicians to check out a leak under my sink. Super chill guys. They gave me plenty of options of how to go about the repair including how to go about doing it myself. I heard the usual sales pitch but never felt pressured into anything. Definitely recommend them.

Christian came on time and was very personable but professional. We had a leak from the bathtub down into the kitchen. We thought it was a pipe leak but after asking a few questions and some assessment, Christian determined it was simply water running behind the water spout and on/off plate which was not caulked properly. An easy fix, and the cost was minimal at $22.00 since we have a Roy’s membership. We are very appreciative to Christian and all the technicians helping us improve our home.

Nick, replaced the pressure reducing valve in the house after a water main break down the street caused it to fail. He tested & checked all the possible causes & solutions (the valve failed). He also called for help for an unrelated mini-split issue of one unit humming. Nick is very professional, certious & knowledgeable about his job, and I would recommend Roy's to anyone.
