2. Your monthly energy bills spike.
If you aren’t using your furnace more, but your home heating bills are suddenly higher than they should, it could be that your furnace is struggling and needs repair.
3. Loud sounds come from the furnace.
All heating and cooling systems make some noise, but if your furnace begins making weird noises—especially banging—it’s a sign you should have it examined by an expert.

Furnaces shouldn’t smell bad. If there’s a persistent nasty smell coming from your furnace, it’s a sign you should seek repair.
