With a furnace, that\u2019s not something you want to try and get away with. The combustion of gas is perfectly safe\u2026 when your furnace is running properly. <\/em>Neglecting a furnace repair issue can do more than just drive up the cost of your energy bill. In this post, we\u2019ll go over three furnace issues that you won\u2019t want to ignore.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Your furnace goes through numerous heating cycles to bring your home\u2019s temperature up. The cycles are timed to heat your home effectively and <\/em>efficiently, lasting about 15 minutes each. Short-cycling, as the name suggests, is what happens when the furnace\u2019s cycles are short and quick.<\/p>\n Short-cycling can have many causes from an improperly sized furnace, to a clogged air filter, to a thermostat in need of replacement. Regardless of what\u2019s causing the problem, short-cycling will prevent your home from staying warm, drive up energy costs, and put excessive wear and tear on the furnace.<\/p>\n If your carbon monoxide detector\u2019s alarm goes off, then you need to leave the home and call the fire department. Carbon monoxide is an odorless and colorless gas that is highly poisonous.<\/p>\n Aside from calling in the help of professionals, there isn\u2019t much you can do about a CO leak. However, CO leaks do have common causes that you can prevent with repairs from a professional:<\/p>\n If your furnace isn\u2019t doing the one thing it\u2019s meant to do\u2014heat your home\u2014then that\u2019s reason enough to call in an urgent repair request. And that\u2019s not simply because you deserve to be comfortable.<\/p>\n A furnace suffering from airflow problems could be suffering from something more serious:<\/p>\n Neglecting a furnace repair issue can do more than just drive up the cost of your energy bill. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[76],"tags":[109,92],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hutchinsinc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/804"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hutchinsinc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hutchinsinc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hutchinsinc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hutchinsinc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=804"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/www.hutchinsinc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/804\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":806,"href":"https:\/\/www.hutchinsinc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/804\/revisions\/806"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.hutchinsinc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=804"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hutchinsinc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=804"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.hutchinsinc.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=804"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Short-Cycling<\/h2>\n
