If your furnace is giving you trouble, you should check the error codes first. This will tell you what's wrong with your furnace and what repairs are necessary. There are a few different ways to do this, but the most common is to check the furnace's manual. The manual will list the error codes and instructions on how to fix them. Sometimes, these error codes are on the back of the furnaces service door.  

It’s not always easy to read furnace error codes, as they are usually indicated through blinking or coloured lights. If you don't have your manual, you can usually find it online or by contacting the furnace's manufacturer. ATCO Energy furnace experts can decipher your furnace codes for you in the event you lose your manual or aren’t sure where to find error codes.

On average, your furnace should be replaced every 15–20 years, if it’s been properly maintained. If not properly maintained, it may be sooner. Regular tune-ups and maintenance will prolong the life of your furnace, giving you more for your money over time.

If your heat pump isn't providing consistent heating or cooling, making unusual noises, or is struggling to reach the desired temperature, it may need repair. Other signs include increased energy bills, frozen coils, or a lack of airflow.  

If you notice any of these issues, it’s a good idea to have a professional inspect and repair your heat pump to prevent further damage and maintain efficiency.

It's recommended to schedule annual maintenance for your heat pump to ensure it operates efficiently throughout the year. Regular check-ups can help identify potential issues early and extend the lifespan of the system.  

If you're experiencing any issues like inconsistent temperature control or strange noises, it's best to call for repairs sooner rather than later to avoid costly breakdowns.
