Furnace Problems Plaistow Homeowners Face Every Winter
We hear it all the time — the furnace that ran fine last year suddenly won’t kick on in January. Or the heating bill keeps climbing even though the house never seems warm enough. These are real problems that real Plaistow families deal with every winter, and they shouldn’t have to wait days for a fix.
Here are the most common furnace issues we repair:
Furnace won’t turn on — Could be a faulty igniter, a tripped limit switch, or a thermostat issue. We diagnose it fast and get it running.
Furnace running but no heat — If your blower is running but the air is cold, you may have a heat exchanger problem, a gas supply issue, or a clogged filter causing the system to overheat and shut off.
Strange noises — banging, rattling, or squealing — These are signs that something inside your furnace isn’t working the way it should. Ignoring them can turn a small repair into a full replacement.
Short cycling (turning on and off repeatedly) — This puts serious wear on your system and drives up your energy bills. It’s often caused by a dirty filter, a faulty flame sensor, or incorrect furnace sizing.
Yellow or flickering burner flame — A healthy furnace flame should be steady and blue. Yellow or orange flames can indicate a carbon monoxide risk — this is a situation that needs immediate attention.
Skyrocketing heating bills — An aging or poorly maintained furnace works harder to keep up, which means you pay more every month. A tune-up or repair can make a noticeable difference.

Furnace Repair vs. Replacement — Which Do You Need?
This is one of the most common questions we get, and the honest answer depends on a few things. As a general rule:
If your furnace is under 15 years old and the repair cost is less than half the cost of a new system, repairing it usually makes financial sense.
If your furnace is over 15–20 years old, constantly needs repairs, or your heating bills have been steadily rising, it may be time to look at a new high-efficiency furnace replacement. A modern furnace can cut your annual heating costs by up to 30%
Either way, Big Al’s Services will give you an honest recommendation — not just the option that makes us the most money. We’d rather earn your trust for life than push you into an unnecessary purchase today.
And if you don’t have a furnace at all yet, say you’re finishing a space that’s never had heat, that’s a different conversation. We also handle furnace installation for brand-new systems.
