Your Furnace Just Made a Weird Noise. Should You Panic?
Short answer: probably not. Long answer: depends on the noise.
Furnaces don't just quit out of nowhere. They usually drop hints first, you just have to know what you're listening (and smelling) for. A few of the big ones:
🔥 Banging or rattling when it kicks on 🔥 Heat that's inconsistent room to room 🔥 Energy bill creeping up for no obvious reason 🔥 The thing just... won't turn on at all
Any of those sound familiar? That's your furnace telling you something's off before it strands you on a 28 degree morning with zero heat.
Here's the part most companies won't tell you upfront: not every weird noise means you need a new furnace. Sometimes it's a $200 igniter. Sometimes it's genuinely time to replace. The trick is getting an honest answer instead of a sales pitch, which is kind of the whole reason Atlas exists.
We run a flat $89 diagnostic, same-day whenever we can swing it, and you get a written quote before we touch anything. No "while we're in there" surprises. If it's a quick fix, we fix it. If it's not worth fixing, we'll tell you straight instead of pushing a new system you don't need yet.
Serving Rock Hill, Fort Mill, Tega Cay, York, Lake Wylie, and the rest of York County.
