5 Signs Your Furnace Won’t Make It Through Winter

As Ohio temperatures drop, your furnace becomes the unsung hero of your home. But not every system is ready for the bitter cold around the corner. At Reliant Home Heating and Cooling, we help homeowners spot problems early so repairs or replacements don’t catch you off guard.

5 Signs Your Furnace Won’t Make It Through Winter

Here are five tell-tale signs that your furnace might be on the way out:

  • Sign 1: Unusual noises – Banging, rattling, or squealing often signals worn parts or serious internal issues.
  • Sign 2: Inconsistent heating – Some rooms are toasty, others feel like iceboxes. Uneven heat usually means declining performance.
  • Sign 3: Rising energy bills – A sudden jump in your monthly statement suggests your furnace is working harder than it should.
  • Sign 4: Frequent repairs – If you’ve already called for service multiple times this year, your furnace may be on its last leg.
  • Sign 5: Age – Most furnaces last 15–20 years. If yours is older, replacement may be the most reliable option.

If your furnace shows any of these signs, Reliant Home Heating and Cooling would be happy to take a look at your system. And even if it’s not showing these signs, a pre-winter tuneup is always a good idea.
