"We had our furnace go out due to an inducer motor failing. After a cold day, we called Chris Heating & Cooling to see if someone could come out and replace it. Kyle was excellent. He replaced the part, and found other areas of concern we didn’t notice. We will definitely be calling whenever we need more repairs done!"- Laura Q.
Your furnace is a fairly complex piece of equipment with many internal components that all must work together to adequately heat your home. A failure in just one component can prevent your system from effectively doing its job. In some scenarios, a problem may come on suddenly, like no heat blowing out of your vents. In other cases, the issue may develop over time, like decreased system efficiency. Either way, it’s best to call our HVAC technicians as soon as you notice that something is awry with your heating system.
There are many reasons that you may need to call for professional furnace repair service.
Faulty starting mechanism
Worn-out blower motor bearings
Broken blower belt
Dirty flame sensor
When your thermostat triggers your furnace to kick on, a starting mechanism will light the burner’s flame. In older furnaces, this starting mechanism is a pilot light that remains lit throughout the day. In newer furnaces, this mechanism is typically an electronic ignitor. In older furnaces, you can simply relight the pilot light. However, in newer models, the electronic ignitor will likely need to undergo professional replacement.
One of the most frustrating issues you may deal with is a furnace that doesn’t produce heat. In most cases, failure in one or more blower components can cause this. These include the motor’s ball bearings or fan belt. When these components aren’t working correctly, they won’t be able to circulate air throughout your home.
Another issue you may have with your furnace is that it won’t run through a full cycle. This can be the result of a dirty flame sensor. This sensor typically ensures that there is a flame in the burner. If there is no flame, the sensor will shut off the supply of fuel to the furnace to protect against a dangerous buildup of gas. Unfortunately, when the sensor’s eye gets dirty with soot, it can prevent it from seeing the actual flame on the burner and cause it to inadvertently shut off the fuel supply to your furnace.
