What Are Signs You Need Furnace Repair Services?
Not sure if it’s time to call for furnace repair in Denver yet? The truth is that we can fix your furnace before it breaks entirely, so you’re never cold in your house.
If you see the following problems, call for help before the issue gets worse.
- Your furnace blows lukewarm air. If it can’t blow hot air consistently, it can’t keep your home as warm as you want it!
- Your furnace won’t turn off. This can burn out your motor fast. It can also make your home too warm!
- Your furnace turns off and on constantly. This will also burn out your motor. Ideally, your furnace will heat your house to the temperature you desire, then turn off until it cools before it heats it up again.
- You have to keep changing the temperature on your thermostat. This should be something that you can set and forget. If you have to keep thinking about it, something isn’t working the way that it should.
- Your furnace makes unusual sounds. Clanging, banging, whistling, and straining are all sounds that indicate it’s time to call in an HVAC professional for your furnace.
- Your furnace seems to run well but you are still cold at home. If you can’t get warm, something is wrong. We’ll troubleshoot your system until we find out why you’re still cold. Then we’ll fix it fast so you can get warm again just as soon as possible.
Issues like these can escalate quickly into more severe problems, leading to higher energy costs and the potential need for full system replacements. Additionally, ignoring them can pose safety risks, such as furnace fires or carbon monoxide leaks, which is why timely maintenance and repairs are crucial.
What Should You Consider When Installing a New Furnace?
If it’s time for furnace installation in Denver, we’ll help you get the right unit for your home and your needs. We’ll take a look at:
- You home’s square footage
- How satisfied you are with your current furnace
- How often you use your furnace
- How warm you like to keep your home
- Whether saving energy is a priority for you and your family
Once we know where you stand on these things, we’ll recommend new furnaces that will suit your home well. We’ll never recommend a furnace that comes from a manufacturer we don’t trust! In fact, any furnace we recommend for you is one that we would be happy putting in our own homes!

What Are Signs You Need a Furnace Replacement?
If your furnace stops working and you have no heat, that’s obviously a sign you need to call Blue Sky Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric for furnace services. But there are other, more subtle ways to tell that your furnace is in need of replacement, including:
- Advanced age — If your furnace is 20 or more years old, it’s nearing the end of its lifespan. An old unit that’s performing poorly probably needs to be replaced.
- Eye test — Take a look at the furnace. Look around your home while the furnace is running. Visible cracks and rust on the unit are a red flag. Excessive dirt or soot on walls and other surfaces throughout the home could also mean the furnace is on its last legs.
- Inconsistent performance — If you notice areas in the home that are colder than others or the air in your home is uncomfortably dry, those are signs that the furnace is not performing at maximum efficiency.
- Energy bills — No one wants to watch their bills climb, and if your utility costs appear to be rising for no apparent reason, a new furnace could remedy that situation.
- Frequent repairs — A furnace that consistently breaks down is only wasting your time and money. Stop the vicious cycle and invest in a replacement.
- Strange noises — All heating systems make some noise, but if your furnace is unusually loud or is emitting rattling, buzzing, or banging noises, call Blue Sky Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric for furnace services so our team can restore the peace and quiet in your home.
If we determine that your old furnace is, in fact, kaput, we won’t leave you waiting around in the cold for long. We’ll help you decide on the most cost-effective and practical option for a furnace installation in Denver, and our professionals will have the new one up and running as quickly as possible.
Understanding the efficiency ratings and potential environmental impact is a critical part of the decision-making process when considering a replacement. Higher efficiency models not only save you money in the long run but also contribute to a healthier planet by consuming less energy. Our team provides detailed breakdowns of your options, allowing you to compare potential savings and environmental benefits strategically.
Strange Noises From Your Furnace?
Unfamiliar sounds emanating from a furnace can be unsettling, prompting concerns about potential malfunctions or impending breakdowns. Recognizing and understanding these noises is essential for homeowners to address issues before they escalate, ensuring the continued efficiency and safety of their heating systems. Various types of noises may emerge from a furnace, each signaling different underlying issues. By deciphering these auditory cues, homeowners can take appropriate actions to maintain their furnace's functionality and prevent costly repairs.
Types of Furnace Noises & What They Mean:
- Banging or clanking: These loud, abrupt noises often indicate loose or broken internal components, such as a malfunctioning blower wheel or motor mount.
- Screeching or squealing: High-pitched sounds are commonly associated with issues in the blower motor or fan belt, signaling a worn-out belt or a motor in need of lubrication.
- Clicking or tapping: While some clicking may be normal during heating cycles, persistent clicking could point to defective electrical components or a malfunctioning thermostat.
- Rumbling or booming: This deep, rumbling noise might result from a buildup of dirt or debris in the furnace burner, leading to delayed ignition.
Addressing these noises promptly is crucial. Delayed responses could lead to bigger issues, such as a total system failure, posing not only comfort challenges but safety concerns as well. Always consult with a qualified professional to ensure that repairs are made safely and effectively.

The Importance of Proper Furnace Maintenance
Your appliances work hard to keep you comfortable, and you count on them to keep chugging along while you focus on other things. However, even amid the hustle and bustle of daily life, it’s important to pause every now and then and check on the “health” of those appliances.
Regular maintenance keeps a furnace healthy and strong. Here are four reasons you need to make it part of your household schedule:
- Maximum Comfort — Your furnace has one job: to keep you and the people in your home or commercial building warm. It’s an important job! Asking your furnace to perform its best, day after day, year after year, without giving it a little bit of love in return is unreasonable. That’s setting your furnace up to fail, and setting you up for costly repair bills — or a cold house in the dead of winter. So, it’s pretty simple: If you want to stay warm, stay on top of your furnace maintenance.
- Safety — No matter what kind of furnace you own, if there’s something wrong with the way it burns fuel to create warmth, you could have a dangerous gas or carbon monoxide leak on your hands. When our professionals visit you for gas furnace maintenance, we can spot any leaks or other safety hazards in the making.
Furnace maintenance is also vital for preserving indoor air quality. Dust and debris can accumulate in your heating system, affecting the air that circulates through your home. Regular cleaning ensures you’re breathing cleaner air, reducing the likelihood of allergies or respiratory issues. Additionally, a well-maintained furnace is less likely to fail during extreme weather conditions, helping you avoid unexpected breakdowns when you need it most.
- Energy Costs — Utility bills go with the territory if you own a home or operate a business facility, but poorly maintained appliances running at less-than-maximum efficiency are basically taking your money and flushing it down the drain. Keep those costs in check with a simple furnace maintenance appointment every year!
- Compliance — Most manufacturers require regular maintenance be performed on a furnace in order to keep the warranty in effect. In other words, invest in routine furnace tune-ups now and you could reap the benefits when or if you need the warranty to pay off.
Scheduling an annual appointment for gas or oil furnace maintenance is a good idea all around. And whether you live in Arvada, Evergreen, Golden, Lakewood, Wheat Ridge, or anywhere in the Denver area, Blue Sky Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric is the company to call for reliable and affordable furnace maintenance service as well as furnace repair service.
Blue Sky Plumbing, Heating, Cooling & Electric is ready to help solve your problems today!
Our commitment to providing exceptional service extends beyond just maintenance. Our team is fully equipped to offer personalized advice on optimizing your furnace usage to reduce costs further. Understanding the specifics of how and when to use your heating system can lead to significant savings while ensuring the warmth and safety of your home throughout the colder months.
Common Furnace FAQs
-
What are signs my furnace is going out?
On average, your furnace can last between 15-20 years if it is properly maintained. However, if you notice any of the following things, it may be a sign that time to replace your furnace:
- Loud banging, clanking, or squealing sounds coming from inside your furnace
- You are calling for repairs more often than usual
- It takes longer for your furnace to heat your house properly, or you find some rooms are colder than others
- Your energy bills are increasing, even though you’re using your furnace the same amount
- You smell something rotten, or smell burning even after starting up your furnace for the first time for the year. It is common to smell a slight burning dusty smell the first time you fire up your furnace for the season, but if it continues throughout the year, you may have an issue
- Moisture accumulating around the furnace or vents
- Your pilot light is flickering, or turning yellow. This could indicate a dangerous carbon monoxide leak
-
What does furnace maintenance include?
Most furnace maintenance visits include at least 4 things:
- A visual inspection of your HVAC system
- A filter change
- Cleaning out dust and debris from the unit
- And testing each component of your furnace to make sure it’s working the way it was designed to.
-
What type of furnace is best for me?
There are 4 main types of furnaces available in most residential homes: Natural Gas, Oil, Electric, and Propane
- Natural gas is a long-term, economical, and energy-efficient option, and a popular option for a well-rounded furnace that works for years to come
- Electric furnaces are smaller and more budget-friendly, a good option for smaller or remote homes without gas lines running to their properties
- Oil furnaces are similar to natural gas furnaces, but they are slightly less expensive and less efficient than natural gas furnaces
- Propane furnaces are the least common but are a great option for more remote locations that do not have a gas line, or anyone preferring to stock up on their own propane to use their furnace
-
How long does a furnace last?Many furnaces come with a lifespan of around 20 years, however depending on how often you clean and maintain your furnace it could be shorter. A good rule of thumb is to start thinking about replacing your furnace after 15 years. Annual maintenance can increase that number, and an experienced furnace technician will be able to tell you the estimated lifespan during a tune-up.
-
What are the benefits of furnace maintenance?
