When it’s chilly in Franklin & South Indy you depend on your furnace to keep you comfortable. If it’s been too long since your system had maintenance, you could have a furnace repair appointment in your future. Even if your system looks to be operating well, you may need to clean or replace your air filter. An old air filter can block air flow, hurt your furnace’s efficiency and affect the limit switch that controls furnace operation.
There are quite a few reasons you could have to have a furnace repair. The quicker you can schedule a furnace repair, the better. If you observe any of the following symptoms, call in an expert, like Winters Heating and Cooling.

Is it running enough? Is it running without stopping? Does the air flow seem less powerful? You could have something wrong with your air filter or furnace blower.3. Your home isn’t getting warm enough. Have you turned up the thermostat again and again but don’t feel like the temperature is what it should be? This could suggest a few particular problems. It could be something wrong with your thermostat. It may be something to do with your gas source or pilot light. It could even be that your furnace isn’t correctly sized for your space.4.
