Your Furnace or A/C Acts Up Sometimes? Here’s Why That’s a Warning Sign

Your furnace or A/C might seem fine one day and act up the next, but those intermittent issues are your system’s way of saying something’s wrong.

In this video, Jon Ryan from Genz-Ryan Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electrical explains:

🔹 What causes intermittent HVAC problems
🔹 Why they usually lead to bigger breakdowns
🔹 How to know when it’s time to call in a pro

Even if your system still turns on, that ‘temporary’ problem could be pointing to a failing component, airflow issue, or electrical connection that won’t fix itself.

When to Schedule a Furnace Repair

Not sure if you need furnace repair? Watch for these common signs that it’s time to call Genz-Ryan:

Uneven Heating:

If certain rooms in your home are colder than others, your furnace isn’t working efficiently. Consistent, even heating is a key sign of a healthy furnace—don’t settle for chilly spots.

Rising Energy Bills:

A sudden spike in your heating bills is often a red flag. Efficient furnaces keep energy costs stable, so climbing bills could mean it’s time for furnace repair.

Furnace is Under 15 Years Old:

Furnaces typically last 15–20 years. If your system is younger than that, chances are you just need a repair—not a full replacement.

Short Cycling (Turning On & Off):

Is your furnace constantly kicking on and off? Short cycling wastes energy and signals issues like damaged temperature sensors or clogged filters.

Appreciate the quality of work Nawaf did for us and his quick follow up when we detected a gas leak. It turned out his work was sound and we had a leak in the stove. He identified the leak for us and we’ve scheduled a stove repair. Appreciate also his kindness and attention to detail.

Frequently Asked Questions

See All FAQs

What are your most common furnace problems?

At Genz-Ryan, our most common heating problems that we encounter include faulty thermostats, igniter failures, thermocouple failures, dirty flame sensors, sooty burners, faulty fan limiters, faulty capacitors, and clogged filters. All of these are relatively minor and inexpensive to repair.

How long do heating systems last?

Different heating systems have different standards for service life, though any can fall short or exceed its average based on maintenance, speedy repairs, and luck.

  • Furnaces can last 15 or 20 years but will be showing their age as early as 10 in some cases.
  • Heat pumps will outlast a furnace if used exclusively for heat but tend to fall short with a 10- to 15-year service life if used year-round for heating and cooling.
  • Hybrid systems last the longest because they strain their component systems less, as long as 25 years. It’s best to replace both systems when one or the other fails.

Ductless mini-splits use the same technology as heat pumps and share their service lives; lengthy for heating alone and shorter for year-round use.

How much do furnace repairs cost?

It will depend on the nature of the problem and the parts required to repair it. At Genz-Ryan, we will recommend the most cost-effective furnace repair options for your budget, and we will provide detailed estimates before work begins. You can also check out our financing options and special offers for other budget-saving measures.

Financing Options

Do you have financing programs available?

We partner with ‘Service Finance’ to give you financing solutions that work with every budget.

Can a cracked heat exchanger be repaired?

Because of the constant heat cycling that a heat exchanger must endure, once it’s damaged, it often cannot be repaired due to the deterioration of the surrounding metal. Installing a new heating system is often the most cost-effective option.
