Furnaces rarely quit without warning. Most of the time they’ve been dropping hints for a while, and a Minnesota winter is no time to ignore them. Watch for these signs:
▪️ One room stays chilly while the rest of the house is warm
▪️ Banging, rattling or squealing when the system kicks on
▪️ The furnace cycling on and off more than usual
▪️ Weak airflow coming from the vents
▪️ Heating bills climbing without a clear reason
▪️ A burning or unusual smell
Some of these are a quick fix, and others mean an aging furnace is nearing the end of its run. Either way, they’re jobs for a licensed technician, since furnaces involve gas and electrical components. If you ever smell gas, get out of the house and call your gas utility from outside.
