How Do I Know When My Furnace Needs Repairs?
You don’t have to be an HVAC expert to know when something’s wrong—most furnaces have a way of telling you. It’s just a matter of knowing what to look (and listen) for. A minor issue today can turn into a major repair—or full furnace replacement—if left alone too long. Catching the early warning signs saves money and helps you avoid those uncomfortable emergency situations.
Here are five signs your furnace needs repair:
- Strange noises – Banging, squealing, rattling, or humming you’ve never heard before? That’s not normal.
- Uneven or weak heating – If one room feels like the tropics and another’s like a walk-in freezer, your system might need help.
- Short cycling – Does your furnace turn on and off a lot? That could be a sign of a faulty thermostat, dirty filter, or something more serious.
- Unusual smells – A musty, burning, or gassy odor should never be ignored.
- Rising utility bills – A sudden spike in energy costs usually means your furnace is working harder than it should.
If any of these sound familiar, it’s time to call in the pros. At Taylor, we offer fast, honest service to get your furnace back in shape.

The Most Common Furnace Problems We Fix for Western Washington Homeowners and Businesses
Western Washington’s damp, cold winters mean our furnaces see a lot of action. And with all that work comes wear and tear. We’ve seen just about every furnace hiccup you can imagine. Some are quick fixes, others more involved—but either way, we’re ready.
Here are four common problems our technicians fix all the time:
1. Faulty ignition system
If your furnace won’t start or struggles to stay lit, the culprit could be the ignitor or pilot light. Electric ignition systems are sensitive and can burn out over time. A dirty sensor or bad wiring can also stop your furnace from firing up. We carefully test voltage, check for continuity, and clean components to get that heat flowing again.
2. Blower motor issues
The blower motor moves heated air from the furnace into your ducts. If it fails, you’ll have heat in the furnace but none in your home. We see this a lot in older systems or ones that haven’t had regular furnace maintenance. Sometimes it’s just a worn capacitor or a dirty fan blade—other times the motor needs replacing.
3. Dirty filters and airflow restrictions
A clogged filter doesn’t just make your system work harder—it can cause overheating, short cycling, or even damage to internal parts. We always check filters first during any service call, because this simple issue can snowball into costly repairs if ignored.
4. Thermostat malfunctions
Sometimes, it’s not the furnace at all—it’s the brain telling it what to do. Faulty thermostats can send mixed signals, run your system too long, or not at all. Whether it’s a calibration issue or outdated wiring, we’ll sort it out.
Every problem has a solution, and our team’s seen them all. Whether it’s residential heating repair or a full HVAC system check for a business, we’re up for the job.
Furnace Types and Models We Service
There’s no one-size-fits-all furnace. Homes and businesses across Western Washington use a wide range of heating systems—and we’ve got experience with all of them. Whether your system runs on gas, electricity, or oil, we’re trained to diagnose and repair it safely and efficiently.
Here’s a quick rundown:
- Gas furnaces are super common thanks to their power and energy efficiency. We service every brand and model out there, from high-efficiency Lennox systems to more classic Rheem and Trane units.
- Electric furnaces are especially popular in areas without natural gas access. They tend to last longer, but they can rack up energy bills if something’s off. Our team knows how to keep them running clean and smart.
- Oil furnaces still heat many rural homes and older buildings. They’re reliable but do need regular tune-ups to stay efficient. We’re comfortable working on these systems too.
We also service heat pumps, ductless mini-splits, hybrid systems, and even older air handler setups. Our technicians are certified, constantly trained, and backed by years of hands-on experience.
No matter the brand—Carrier, Goodman, Bryant, American Standard—you name it, we’ve repaired it. And if it turns out you need a new furnace installation, we can help with that too.
How Do I Know When It's Time to Replace?
Furnace repairs are great—until they aren’t. Sometimes, the smarter move is to stop pouring money into an old system and start fresh with a new one. So how do you know when it’s time to replace instead of repair?
Here are a few key signs:
- Your furnace is over 15–20 years old.
- You’ve had multiple repairs in the last couple of seasons.
- Energy bills are creeping up with no obvious reason.
- It’s struggling to heat your home evenly.
- Your technician says a major part—like the heat exchanger—is failing.
If repairs are costing you nearly half of what a new system would, it’s probably time to consider furnace installation. At Taylor, we’ll always give you honest advice—no pressure, no gimmicks. And yes, we offer financing to make the transition easier on your wallet. We’ll help you weigh your options and do what’s best for your home, your comfort, and your budget.
What’s the Average Furnace Repair Cost in Western Washington?
Repair costs can vary depending on the issue, the parts involved, and your furnace type—but here’s a general ballpark. In Western Washington, most homeowners pay between $150 and $600 for a typical furnace repair. Minor fixes like thermostat replacements or sensor cleaning land on the low end, while more complex jobs (like blower motor or ignitor replacements) sit at the higher end.
We always provide upfront pricing before we start any work. No surprises, no shady add-ons. And if it turns out that repair isn’t the most cost-effective route, we’ll talk you through your furnace replacement or upgrade options too.
The Importance of Timely Furnace Repairs
We get it—life’s busy. But when your furnace starts acting up, waiting too long to get it checked can do more harm than good. A small, inexpensive repair today can turn into a big, costly breakdown next week. We’ve seen it time and time again.
Delayed furnace repairs can lead to things like cracked heat exchangers, damaged blower motors, or even complete system failure. In some cases, it can even pose safety risks—especially if there’s a gas leak or electrical issue involved.
Timely repairs also keep your HVAC systems running efficiently. That means lower energy bills, better airflow, and a more comfortable home all season long. Plus, regular service extends the life of your equipment, so you don’t have to think about furnace installation again anytime soon.
At Taylor, we’re all about proactive care and peace of mind. If something feels off with your heating, don’t wait—give our team a call. We’re here to help.
