There are things that you’d expect to notice when your furnace turns on. For example, the feeling of warm air and maybe even a small rattle as your ductwork expands. These are common details to notice. However, smells are more often than not a warning sign of trouble from a furnace, whether it uses gas or just electricity to get the job done.
A furnace that has started to produce worrying smells while it is running is one that needs a furnace repair in Minneapolis, MN. We’ll explain what some of the most concerning smells from your furnace mean so you know if and when the time has come to reach out for repairs.
It’s a cold winter morning in Minneapolis. You leave the comfort of your warm bed to head over to your thermostat. You want to get your home a little toasty before you officially get out of bed to start the day. You choose the perfect temperature setting, start up your heater, and then *bam*… literally. Your furnace is banging up a storm in your home. What in the world is going on?
In the world of furnaces, you don’t ever want one that’s just “okay.” When you’re describing the furnace that you’ve got at home, you’re going to want to be able to describe this furnace as “great,” “dependable,” or “effective.” Anything short of this and you’re just wasting your time, energy, and probably a considerable amount of money in the process.
