COMMON FURNACE ISSUES
With a longstanding commitment to furnace repairs in the community, our extensive experience has acquainted us with a diverse range of heating challenges. Here are the predominant issues we routinely handle when delivering heater repair services.:
-
Ignition or Pilot Control Problems: Issues with the ignition or pilot can lead to intermittent heating or a complete lack of heat.
-
Dirty or Clogged Filters: Over time, filters can become clogged with dirt and debris, reducing airflow and efficiency.
-
Thermostat Malfunctions: Faulty thermostats can result in uneven heating or no heat at all.
-
Blower Operation Issues: Continuous operation of the blower or problems with the limit switch may occur.
-
Strange Noises: Rumbling, squeaking, or rattling noises can indicate mechanical problems, loose parts, or airflow restrictions.
-
Faulty Limit Switch: A malfunctioning limit switch can cause the blower to run continuously, leading to overheating.
-
Pilot Control or Thermocouple Issues: Problems with the pilot control or thermocouple can affect the furnace’s ability to produce heat.
-
Lack of Maintenance: Insufficient maintenance can lead to various issues, including decreased efficiency and system failures.
-
Wear and Tear: Normal wear and tear over time can cause components to degrade, impacting the furnace’s performance.
-
Electrical or Gas Connection Problems: Issues with electrical connections or gas supply can result in heating problems or even safety hazards.
It’s important to note that if you encounter any issues with your furnace, it’s recommended to contact a professional HVAC technician to assess and address the problem properly. Regular maintenance can also help prevent many of these common issues and ensure the efficient operation of your furnace.

WHEN TO CONTACT A PROFESSIONAL
- Uneven Heating: If certain rooms experience temperature disparities, it may point to an issue with the heating system.
- Surging Energy Costs: A sudden increase in energy bills could be a sign that your heating system is overworking and may need attention.
- Yellow Pilot Light: The presence of a yellow pilot light, rather than the standard blue, may signal the potential presence of carbon monoxide, requiring immediate attention.
- Frequent Cycling: If your heater consistently turns on and off, it might be due to a malfunctioning thermostat or a blocked filter
- Unusual Odors: The persistence of a musty or burning smell during heater operation could indicate the presence of mold or a possible electrical issue.
