Our Expert Furnace Repair Services
Furnaces are reliable heating sources, but like any system with moving parts, problems happen. Some of the most common furnace problems we repair are broken thermostats, lack of warm air blowing, cracked heat exchangers, broken blower belts, and weak or yellow pilot lights on gas models. Be sure to call us immediately if any of these issues or other problems occur.
Why Call a Professional?
Furnaces can involve dangerous components like gas and electricity, which is why professional attention by a trained technician is essential. Ignoring your problems will only make them worse, leading to more costly and potentially hazardous complications.
5 Signs You Need Professional Furnace Repairs
If you’re on the fence about whether or not to call a pro, check out the following signs.
Yellow or weak pilot light
Your pilot light should always be a deep blue color, and the flame should be strong and constant — not flickering or weak. If your pilot light is yellow, it’s a sign the flame isn’t getting enough oxygen. Yellow flames are called “lazy” because they are failing to burn up all the carbon monoxide in your system. This is dangerous and warrants immediate professional attention from us.
Broken thermostat
Is your thermostat not turning on or failing to respond when you set temperature changes? Thermostat issues can also cause your furnace fan to run all the time. Before calling us, you can troubleshoot by changing your thermostat batteries and checking your circuit breaker. If your thermostat issues persist, don’t wait to call us!
Heat exchanger problems
The heat exchanger helps your furnace run safely by keeping the warming flame separate from the air. Heat exchanger problems happen when your air filters become clogged or you regularly overheat your house. If your heat exchanger is cracked, we’ll need to replace it.
Blower belt issues
If your furnace is making a high-pitched squealing sound, it’s most likely due to a broken or frayed blower belt. Our technicians can replace your belt to keep your furnace fan running efficiently.
Short-cycling
If your furnace turns on and off frequently without heating the house, it’s short-cycling. Possible causes of short-cycling include dirty air filters and thermostat problems. Prompt attention is needed. In addition to not heating the house well, a short-cycling furnace causes extremely high energy bills and is hard on your system.
Is a 20-Year-Old Furnace Worth Repairing?
As a furnace ages, it becomes less energy-efficient. The natural wear and tear of age also causes your unit to need more frequent repairs, which can get costly quickly. For these reasons, we would probably recommend replacing your decades-old system rather than just repairing it. New furnaces are more energy-efficient, reducing energy bills and providing better air quality for your home.
