Frequently Asked Questions

While rare, a furnace can catch fire due to issues like gas leaks, overheating, or electrical problems. Regular maintenance and inspections by a certified professional can prevent dangerous situations.

Possible causes include a dirty air filter, a malfunctioning thermostat, a problem with the pilot light, or an issue with the heat exchanger.

It depends on usage and filter type, but generally, you should replace standard filters every 1-3 months. Experts recommend more frequent filter changes if you have pets or a smoker in the house.

Popping, banging, or rumbling noises usually indicate sediment buildup in the tank. Flushing the water heater can help resolve the issue.

This could be due to a faulty flapper, a loose or broken fill valve, or a problem with the float. Replacing the faulty component can stop the running water.

Low water pressure could be an issue with the supplier, or it could signal problems in your plumbing system, like clogs, a faulty pressure regulator, or buildup in the aerators.

A musty smell often indicates mold or mildew growth inside the system due to excess moisture. Cleaning or replacing the air filter and scheduling professional maintenance can help.
