Your fuel-burning furnace has a number of mechanisms allowing it to run safely and effectively. These features prevent fires and protect your indoor air quality (IAQ). They also work to prevent internal errors from damaging large portions of your furnace.

Winter in Lemont is shaping up to be especially harsh this year. Can you imagine not having your furnace to help you make it through? You go to turn it on … and instead of rushing warm air through your ducts, it rattles, groans, and then just sits in sullen silence, clearly protesting another season of overworked servitude.

You just discovered there is a puddle of water on the floor in front of your furnace. What does this mean? Why would your furnace be leaking water?

If your furnace is producing a strange smell, you should always treat it with caution. While the cause for the odor may be benign, it could just as easily be harmful to inhale. When in doubt, always open windows to ensure ventilation, and evacuate your Hinsdale home.

If your furnace seems to be producing heat inconsistently around your Lemont home to you, you’re not alone. Many homes have varied conditions from room to room, causing spotty heating or cooling.

This issue happens more often than not with older furnaces, and it could be a sign you are ready to upgrade your Hinsdale home’s heating and cooling system with a new model. At the 10-year mark, furnaces start to lose efficiency and begin breaking down more frequently.
