Carrier HVAC Elgin IL
Is the heating system in your home starting to shows signs of aging and declining performance? It might be the right time to call Elgin Sheet Metal for installation of a Carrier HVAC Elgin IL replacement. While choosing a heating system replacement for your residence and for your budget can seem like quite a challenge, it is not as complicated as you may think. In fact, the best to determine if you should give us a call for heating repair or replacement is to simply keep a close eye on your furnace and how well it’s doing its job, (which is providing reliable heating for your home without any problems or service disruptions.)
A good place is to start is taking a look at your utility bills. Are they increasing every winter? If your furnace appears to be running fine but your energy consumption is escalating, there is probably an issue. Every home heating system typically loses some of its efficiencies as it ages over the years, but you’ll want to contact a Carrier HVAC Elgin IL professional to confirm there aren’t any other problems.
As a suggestion, heating bills are going up general for many area homeowners, so you may already experience yearly increases in terms of your bills. Monitor how much energy your household consumes as a way of measuring changes in the efficiency of your furnace or heat pump.

Other signs you’ll want to contact us for a furnace inspection by a Carrier HVAC Elgin IL technician include:
You’re Continually Adjusting Your thermostat
Does it seem like you’re changing the settings on your thermostat frequently during the winter? If you’re always making adjustments to find that ideal setting, it’s a signal of larger concerns.
You’re Scheduling Repairs Frequently
If your furnace consistently needs service calls, you may want to consider replacement with a new Carrier HVAC Elgin IL system. Every heating system will require some upkeep on occasion as it grows older. However, when those repair bills start to become a frequent occurrence, it may well be more cost-effective for you to replace that old furnace with a new, more efficient system installed by Elgin Sheet Metal.
You’re Noticing Inconsistent Heating in Your Home
Uneven heating in different rooms can be a sign of an issue with your furnace and vent system. Our HVAC techs can perform an inspection and implement repairs necessary to restore more consistent heating throughout your home.
Your Furnace Run is Short Cycling
When your residential furnace runs, then shuts down and starts again, it’s known in the industry as short cycling. It indicates a furnace that is not in good condition. If yours is doing this, get a Carrier HVAC Elgin IL professional to assess the problem.
Your Furnace Makes Strange Noises
If your furnace is starting to make strange noises you’ve never heard from it before, such as popping and knocking, do not overlook them. Based on the type of furnace you have in your home and the noises it’s making, there could be a major problem. For example, if you ever hear a loud pop sound as the furnace goes on, there may be a crack on the heat exchanger, which means a potentially hazardous carbon monoxide or gas leak.
You’re Feeling Ill in Your Own House
If anyone in your household experiences unexplained cold or flu symptoms in the winter such as dizziness, headaches or shortness of breath, a faulty furnace could be a contributing factor.
