- Discoloration to your pilot light. In most cases, your furnace's pilot light should be blue if it's healthy. A yellow light can indicate issues with the ventilation system or other components. This can be detrimental to your health and home if carbon monoxide isn't being vented properly.
- Increased electric bill. If your furnace is losing efficiency due to age or wear, it can cost more to run. It could also be due to a lack of maintenance, but dust or failing parts can affect the output of your furnace. This can cost more to heat your home or business by making it heat slower or less effectively.
- Odd sounds coming from your furnace. It might not be dangerous but squealing parts in your furnace could mean that your motor needs work or the loose blower assembly is in need of repair. These problems can cause more expensive repairs or a furnace replacement.
- Worse air quality. If your furnace isn't working correctly, it can leave all sorts of allergens and dust in your home's air. It can also affect the humidity in the air, all of which can be harmful to your health or comfort.
- Short cycling. When your furnace cuts on and off more frequently, it can be a definite sign that your unit needs repaired. It doesn't compete with the outside temperatures, which can raise your bills more. This could be from something as simple as a clogged air filter or complex as a cracked heat exchanger.
