Frequently Asked Questions
What are some common signs that my furnace needs repair?
Many symptoms indicate the need for furnace repair, including increased energy bills, strange sounds or smells coming from the unit or a discolored pilot light. If your furnace seems to be malfunctioning in any way, it’s best to get it checked sooner rather than later. Otherwise, the problem may become more expensive to fix over time.
Why should I hire a professional instead of trying furnace installation myself?
Professional furnace installation is the safest option for your home and family. A lot can go wrong when someone unfamiliar with furnaces tries to install one, including gas leaks and incomplete installation.
If a system is not set up the exact right way, it can void the manufacturer’s warranty. The system also won’t perform as efficiently as it should and will likely need repairs sooner than it would otherwise. Our team has the decades of knowledge and experience necessary to keep any of those issues from happening.
How often should my furnace be serviced for regular maintenance?
We recommend having your furnace serviced once a year to maintain optimal performance. It’s better to pay a relatively minor maintenance fee once a year than to face an unexpected major repair or replacement fee when a once-preventable problem gets out of hand.
What is the average lifespan of a furnace?
A furnace typically lasts 15-20 years at most. However, your furnace could last even longer if it is properly installed and annually serviced by a professional HVAC technician. The expert team at Gough Heating and Air Conditioning is always here for you to help extend the longevity of your system.
What should I consider when choosing a new furnace?
The most important thing to consider when choosing a new furnace is the size of the system. Contrary to what you might think, bigger isn’t always better. In fact, if a system is too large for your home, it won’t heat it properly. Therefore, it’s crucial to have a professional calculate the heat load required for your space and match your home up with the right-sized system.
Do you provide any additional HVAC services?
Yes! We specialize in everything a home in the Greater Rockford region needs for comfortable heating, ventilation and cooling. Aside from furnaces, we also work with air conditioners, air purifiers and humidifiers and provide professional duct cleaning services.
