Here, the heating contractors at Total Tech share a few warning signs that indicate it’s time to call in a professional:

• Thermostat Isn’t Working: If you’ve turned the thermostat on and it looks as if your furnace isn’t producing any heat, this is a warning sign that there may be something wrong with your pilot light or thermostat. In addition, if only some rooms are heating or you have to keep adjusting the thermostat to stay warm, this is also an indication that it’s time to call in a professional to take a look.
• Furnace Is Generating Loud Noise: If you’re hearing rumbles or strange and loud noises coming from your furnace, it can be the result of an unbalanced belt or an ignition problem that needs to be handled immediately. Call a furnace repair professional to come in and take a look.
• Yellow Pilot Light: A blue flame signals a properly functioning furnace, however, a yellow pilot flame could indicate an incomplete combustion due to an air leak, which produces carbon monoxide. If you come across this warning sign, call an HVAC professional to come and take a look immediately.
