What Are the Most Common Furnace Repairs?
1. Furnace Blowing Cold Air Instead of Heat
If your furnace isn’t producing heat, the issue could stem from a faulty thermostat, the pilot light, clogged filters, or leaking air ducts. Addressing these problems promptly will restore your comfort. Learn more about common causes and solutions here.
2. Uneven Heating Throughout Your Home
Uneven temperatures can be caused by blocked vents, poor insulation, a dirty furnace filter, improperly sized HVAC system, or even a malfunctioning heating system.
3. Excessive Furnace Noise
Screeching, banging, or grinding noises may indicate mechanical problems or airflow issues. These unusual sounds warrant immediate attention.
4. Unpleasant Furnace Smells
Unusual odours like a sewage smell or burnt rubber or plastic can signal serious problems like electrical issues that warrant immediate attention.
5. Furnace Water Leaks
A puddle near your furnace might point to a cracked heat exchanger or a leaky condensate line. Turn off the furnace and call for professional help right away.
6. Furnace Frequently Shutting Off
If your furnace cycles on and off too often, it may be due to thermostat issues, a clogged filter, or an improperly sized unit.
7. Dirty Furnace Filter
A clogged or dirty furnace filter can reduce efficiency, worsen air quality, and overwork your system. Replacing the filter every 90 days helps maintain performance.
8. Carbon Monoxide Leak
A carbon monoxide (CO) leak is a serious issue. Regular maintenance ensures your furnace is safe and operating efficiently, helping you avoid this dangerous situation. Additionally, as an Ontario resident, you should have a carbon monoxide detector to alarm you of a leak.

Frequently Asked Questions About Emergency Furnace Repair in Windsor
How much does furnace repair cost in Windsor?
Furnace repair costs depend on factors such as warranty coverage, extent of damage, service provider, location, and furnace type (e.g., natural gas, electric, or oil). At CK Mechanical, our technicians will inspect your furnace, assess the necessary repairs, and provide a fair and accurate quote tailored to your situation.
Should I repair or replace my furnace?
Consider the following when deciding:
- Furnace age: If your furnace is over 15–20 years old, replacement is often more cost-effective.
- Repair vs. replacement costs: Compare repair estimates (including warranty) to the cost of a new furnace.
Efficiency: Upgrading to a high-efficiency furnace can save on energy bills if your current unit is inefficient. - Performance & comfort: If your furnace struggles to maintain heat or causes issues like cold spots, allergies, or dry air, replacing it may be a better option.
Why is my furnace blowing cold air?
Common causes include:
- Dirty or clogged air filter: Restricts airflow and impacts heating.
- Faulty thermostat: The thermostat may not be signaling the furnace properly.
- Incorrect fan settings: Ensure the fan is set to “auto,” not “on.”
- Pilot light: Check if the pilot light is out and relight it if needed.
If these tips don’t restore your heat, contact CK Mechanical for expert repair services.
What should I do if my furnace stops working?
Start by checking for these common issues:
- Clogged filter: Replace a dirty filter to prevent overheating.
- Safety switch: Ensure the furnace door is fully closed.
- Dirty burners: Look for a yellow or red flame, which may indicate the burners need cleaning.
If these don’t resolve the problem, call CK Mechanical for expert service.
Why does my furnace keep turning off?
Frequent shutdowns could indicate a serious problem. Contact us immediately to diagnose and address the problem before it causes other issues.
Why does my furnace keep running?
Furnaces are designed to run until they reach the temperature set on your thermostat. If your furnace seems to be running continuously, it’s usually normal. However, if it’s running excessively without reaching the desired temperature, it may need a professional inspection.
What causes a furnace to be so loud?
Loud noises can be caused by:
- Dirt buildup, requiring professional cleaning.
- Loose parts inside the system.
- Worn seals or metal fatigue issue with the blower blades.
If your furnace is producing unusual noises, our technicians can pinpoint the issue and fix it.
Why does my furnace smell?
Unpleasant odours may result from:
- Dirty Filters: A clogged grease filter on the blower assembly needs cleaning.
- Overfilled Refrigerant: Improper refrigerant levels can cause odours.
- Dust Build-Up: If the furnace has been idle for some time, dust may accumulate on the components, leading to a burning smell when the furnace is turned on.
- Overheated Components: Malfunctioning parts, such as a dirty blower, can overheat and produce a burning odour.
- Electrical Issues: A burning smell, similar to rubber or plastic, may indicate problems with the furnace’s wiring or motor.
If the strange smells persist, we can identify and resolve the issue promptly.
