It’s the end of September, which means South Jersey will be switching from iced coffee to hot cocoa any day now. Before the real cold sets in, take a minute to think about your furnace. If you spot any of these issues, it’s time for a check-up:
1. Unusual Noises – Banging and rattling aren’t “seasonal sounds.” They’re problems waiting to get worse.
2. Uneven Heating – Warm downstairs, freezing upstairs? Your furnace isn’t keeping up.
3. Energy Bills Rising – If the bill’s climbing but the house isn’t warmer, the system’s struggling.
4. Constant Cycling – On and off, over and over… that’s not efficiency, that’s distress.
5. Strange Smells – Musty or burning odors don’t just “come with fall.” They mean trouble.
Getting your furnace serviced now costs less than an emergency call in December.
