Does Homeowners Insurance Cover Furnace Repair?

Unfortunately, you cannot put a routine furnace repair claim in on your homeowner’s insurance. These policies don’t cover fixing or replacing HVAC systems unless the damage is part of a covered loss. That means something happened that’s covered by your policy, and the heater or AC was damaged as a result.

The best way to protect yourself against sudden heater repair costs is by keeping the warranty valid with regular maintenance and enrolling in a service plan with your HVAC contractor.

This way, you reduce the chance of a problem. And, the manufacturer may cover some costs if something does go wrong. Finally, a service plan or maintenance agreement can greatly reduce what you pay for a repair down the line.

Troubleshoot: Four Weird HVAC Sounds (And What They Mean)

Are you noticing odd noises from your heater? Here’s what some of the most common ones mean:

1. Popping after the system turns on is the ducts slightly expanding
2. A click when the furnace turns on is normal
3. Squealing noises indicate a blower motor problem or loose belt
4. Rattling or gurgling is a sign something’s broken or loose in the system

The first two items are usually no problem. But if the pops or clicks get louder or more frequent, there may be an issue. If you notice the second two, call your HVAC contractor to check it out. In the Fox River Valley, Compass is here to help! You can reach us at (630) 504-8688.

Four Things To Check When No Air Comes Through the Vents

Are you not feeling any heat when your furnace should be working? Here are four things to check when your air is coming through your vents:

1. Make sure the air filter isn’t clogged
2. Check that your thermostat is set to “Heat” and “Auto.”
3. Ensure your vent dampers are open
4. Visually inspect ducts for holes, splits, or blockages

You can fix the first three problems on your own, and you’ll need a professional to check any ductwork problem. Or, if you’ve completed this troubleshooting and still have a problem in your Downers Grove home, call Compass Heating and Air at (630) 504-8688.
