Strange Sounds

When your furnace is operating, it is going to make some noises. However, if you notice strange sounds, it's time to take notice. Noises such as banging, booming, squealing, screeching, rattling, hissing, whooshing, or clicking can all indicate that your furnace needs repairs or a replacement. Don't worry, though! Triumph Heating and Air Conditioning is here to help you.


Foul Odors

Foul odors are a red flag that your furnace needs professional care. Our highly trained and experienced team understands that Canadian winters require you to have a heating system that will keep up with the dropping temperatures. Properly sizing your new furnace will help keep your energy bills down, so our experts will help you choose the right equipment. Triumph Heating and Air Conditioning is proud to be a  Bryant Factory Authorized Dealer and will service all makes and models!


Yellow Burner Flame

Is your burner's flame yellow? If so, this can indicate combustion problems. A yellow or flickering flame might also be a red flag that there is carbon monoxide exposure, which can be incredibly dangerous to you and your loved ones, causing symptoms like headaches, dizziness, and even death. If you notice this color of burner flame, it's crucial to contact the experts at Triumph Heating and Air Conditioning immediately for West Kelowna furnace repair.


Short Cycling

If your furnace starts and stops more frequently than usual, it's time to contact your friendly Triumph Heating and Air Conditioning team. Our family-owned and operated business proudly provides quality heating and cooling services throughout our community, and we are here to serve you. Not only does short-cycling lead to damaged internal parts, but it also increases your energy bills!
