Skyrocketing Energy Bills
If your energy bills have been on the rise, but you haven’t been using more energy than usual, your HVAC system may be having efficiency issues. Higher energy bills could mean a number of things. If something is causing problems within your system, your unit will have to work harder and longer to reach your desired temperature. This causes your system to use more energy and costs you more.
High energy bills can occur for many reasons, but the most common reason is old age. The best solution is to call B&L Ott for a diagnosis. One of our trained technicians will inspect your furnace and find the issue. If the problem can be fixed, we will repair it for you. If not, we will help you choose and install a replacement.
Loud Noises
If you hear strange noises coming from your furnace, there could be a variety of problems. Scraping sounds may mean that there is something wrong with the blower or motor mount. Banging or popping sounds typically signal a dirty furnace blower or expanding air ducts. Squealing or whining sounds can be caused by problems with the blower belt, shaft bearings, or blower motor.
The best way to ensure that your system gets properly diagnosed and fixed is to schedule an appointment with B&L Ott. Our technicians are trained to find even the smallest of details that could mean trouble. Be sure to get your furnace inspected before it’s too late!
Strange Smells
Bacteria buildup may be your problem if you notice a strange smell coming from your furnace. It can build up on the inside or outside of your unit.

B&L Ott can help you properly clean your system and install the right air filtration system.
