These can also indicate that the system is worn out and needs immediate replacement. Contact F.H. Furr if you notice signs that your system has reached the end of its life span, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Rotten egg odors: <\/strong>Furnaces that produce foul smells may have gas leaks or ignition problems. This issue needs immediate attention.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Short-cycling: <\/strong>This can result from electrical faults, clogged air filters, overheating, and problems with the heat exchanger.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Yellow pilot light: <\/strong>This is a sign of incomplete combustion and can indicate ignition system failure.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Inconsistent heating: <\/strong>There are many causes of uneven heating that a certified HVAC specialist should thoroughly investigate.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Expensive repairs: <\/strong>If any repair exceeds 50% of the replacement cost, then replacement is the better option. Likewise, if repairs are becoming more frequent, as is the price of repairs, replacing a failing unit may be more cost-effective than repairing it.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We&#8217;ll be happy to inspect your system and determine whether repair or replacement is your best option.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Contact F.H.
