Signs You Need Emergency Furnace Repair

While New Orleans winters are fairly mild, with lots of wind and rain, we still need to keep our families warm and safe. Signs you need emergency furnace repair include:

• A yellow pilot light: Your pilot light should be blue. A clogged air intake valve can cause a yellow or orange pilot light that isn’t hot enough to sustain the flame. This could even lead to a dangerous carbon monoxide leak.
• Active carbon monoxide alerts: Carbon monoxide detectors save lives, so it’s always important to take an alert seriously. Your furnace could have a dirty flue pipe, which can cause a carbon monoxide leak and potentially lead to carbon monoxide poisoning.
• No warm air from vents: If your heating system is running but not blowing hot air, then there’s clearly a problem. Check your thermostat setting and air filter first.
• System breakdown: If your furnace doesn’t turn on, being without heat for extended periods can be dangerous. If the issue persists, you may have problems with key system components.

Should I Repair or Replace My Heating System?

If you’re struggling with a furnace or heat pump breakdown, you may wonder whether to repair or replace your unit.

It’s likely more beneficial to repair your heating system if:

• Your system is less than 10 years old.
• Your system is still under warranty.
• The repair costs are relatively low.

It may be time to replace your heating system with a new, more efficient model if:

• Your system has had multiple breakdowns in the past year or two.
• Your system is over 15 years old.
• The cost of repairs is more than half the cost of a new system.
