Troubleshoot: Bad Smells Coming From Your Furnace

A funky smell coming from your furnace is nothing to ignore! Even if it's caused by something small, you want to make sure everything is running smoothly. And, of course, who wants a bad odor in the house?

Here's a quick look at common furnace smells and what they mean:

Melted Rubber

Something in your furnace is overheating. If the smell is very strong, turn off the heat and call us ASAP.

Burning Dust

Your system will burn off some settled dust when it first turns on for the season. That's usual. But call if the smell persists.

Rotten Eggs or Skunk

Both these smells can indicate a gas leak. Shut off your heat and call us right away.

Four Tips To Avoid A Heater Scam This Winter

People can get desperate when their heat’s not working in the winter, and scammers know it! The best way to avoid a heater scam is by working with a reputable HVAC contractor. Here are four things to look for when choosing a company:

4. Positive referrals from friends and family

Should I Replace My 25-Year-Old Furnace?

You don't always have to replace a 25-year-old furnace. Most units don't last that long, but some can if you maintain them appropriately along the way. And, the longer you use it, the more you get for the money you paid when you had it installed. But, there are some exceptions.

If you pay for repairs more often and your energy bills keep going up, you may be better off with a new system.

You'll save money without all those repair bills. And, the new furnace comes with a warranty.

Meanwhile, any model you choose today will be much more energy-efficient than one from two decades ago. So, you'll see a significant drop in your bills.

Is the time suitable for you? Call Compass Heating and Air for a free consultation. We'll help you decide if a furnace replacement is the right way to go.
