We Repair and Maintain Electric and Gas-Fired Furnaces

Even a great furnace that is expertly installed will probably run into operational issues from time to time. When you get down to it, there is just no such thing as a 100% reliable furnace. We’re not here to try to sell you system replacements that you don’t really need, though. We offer great ongoing services in order to keep your furnace up and running properly. Routine maintenance will keep repair needs to a minimum, and there are a few items to check before you schedule professional furnace repairs.

If the furnace isn’t doing anything at all:

1. Make sure the thermostat is set to "heat" and the temperature setting is set above the actual room temperature.
2. Look for a "low battery" signal on the thermostat. If you see it, replace batteries. (This should be done once a year.)
3. Make sure the circuit breaker in your electrical panel is in the on position. If it’s off, it could be because someone accidentally turned it off or because it tripped due to an overload. If you turn it on and it "trips" to the off position again, there’s something wrong and you should call us to accurately diagnose the problem for you.
4. Make sure the on/off switch on the furnace is in the "on" position. This usually looks like a light switch on or near the furnace. There could sometimes be a fuse in this switch that should also be checked. If the fuse blows, call us for help.
5. Make sure the doors of the furnace are properly installed or latched. Most furnaces have a safety switch behind the blower door that will prevent the furnace from operating if the door isn’t properly latched.

If the furnace is making some noises, or you can see some functions working:

1. Make sure your air filter is clean.
2. Look for a sight glass that lets you see into the blower area and look for LED diagnostic lights that might give you a "fault code" to give you an idea what’s wrong. These fault codes are not the same for all furnaces, and some furnaces don’t have them. There may be a sticker on the furnace explaining how to read the fault codes. If you get a fault code feel free to call us and we can help you interpret them. Be sure to have your furnace model # when you call.
