The furnace doesn’t turn on
If your furnace isn’t turning on, there is something wrong with it. This could be something as simple as a thermostat issue, or be a problem with the power supply or pilot light.
Unusual noises
If your furnace is making strange sounds, such as banging, rattling, or squealing, it may indicate a problem with the blower motor, burner, or other components.
Poor heating performance
If your furnace is struggling to heat your home adequately or is producing uneven heat, it may indicate a problem with the thermostat, ductwork, or blower motor.
Increased energy bills
If you notice a sudden spike in your energy bills, it may indicate that your furnace is working harder than it should due to a malfunctioning component or poor maintenance.
Bad odors
