If you’re wondering whether your furnace needs to be repaired, you should consider whether you’ve noticed any of the following signs or symptoms: 

• Rooms in your home heating unevenly
• A sudden or unexpected rise in your utility bills during the winter months
• A buzzing or rattling sound coming from the furnace
• Visible rust or cracks on the surface of the furnace
• Humidity problems in your home
• The furnace stops working unexpectedly 

If you checked off several of the items above, your furnace likely isn’t functioning optimally and should be repaired. Luckily, The Comfort Group is here to perform your repair and get your furnace back in working order. Simply give us a call, and we’ll send a technician to your home to assess your furnace.

The most common kinds of furnace repairs in Parksville include cracked heat exchangers, dirty or clogged air filters, thermostats not functioning, flickering or strangely coloured pilot lights, malfunctioning blower belts, and furnaces not blowing hot air or any air at all. No matter what the problem is, The Comfort Group’s team of fully licensed and certified professionals will get to the bottom of it. We are here day and night to repair your furnace. Give us a call on our 24/7 emergency line, and we’ll send a technician to your door in no time. There are no hidden fees for weekend, holiday, after-hours, or emergency service calls.

The type of furnace you have (there are natural gas furnaces, oil furnaces, and propane furnaces) determines how it works. Take a natural gas-based furnace as an example (this is the most common type of furnace in Canada). First, burning gas is used to generate heat in the furnace’s burner. The heat generated then passes through a heat exchanger, which warms it up. Finally, air from the home’s ductwork is blown over the heat exchanger, propelling warm air out the vents in your home. 

Experts recommend that Parksville homeowners have their furnaces serviced annually. The Comfort Group offers quality furnace maintenance services to Parksville residents. Our furnace services are preventative, meaning they can help you avoid long-term problems in the future, extending the life of your furnace. Maintenance services can also increase your furnace’s energy efficiency and save you money on your monthly utility bills.

While furnaces can generally benefit from being serviced annually, there could be a reason that causes you to have it serviced more frequently than that. For example, if you notice any of the telltale signs of a problem, such as a buzzing or rattling sound coming from the unit or rooms in your home heating unevenly, you should call The Comfort Group to book a furnace maintenance appointment as soon as possible. 

To book a furnace service appointment, whether you suspect something is wrong or you simply want a check-up, call The Comfort Group today. We offer a wide range of furnace services, including installations, repairs, and maintenance tune-ups, to all Parksville residents.
