Common Furnace Problems We Repair
A furnace can fail for many reasons, from simple maintenance oversights to complex mechanical issues. Understanding the common causes can help you know when it is time to call a professional for a diagnosis and repair. Ignoring these signs can often lead to more extensive and costly damage to your heating system.
Here are some of the most frequent furnace issues that require professional attention:
- Ignition or Pilot Control Problems: A faulty ignitor or a malfunctioning pilot light is a common reason a furnace fails to produce heat. This can be caused by drafts, clogs, or thermocouple issues that require an expert touch.
- Frequent Cycling: If your furnace turns on and off more frequently than usual, it could indicate a clogged filter restricting airflow, an improperly calibrated thermostat, or an oversized system.
- Malfunctioning Thermostat: Sometimes the issue lies not with the furnace itself, but with the thermostat. Inaccurate temperature readings or faulty wiring can prevent the furnace from turning on or maintaining the right temperature.
- Loud or Unusual Noises: Rumbling, squeaking, or banging sounds are clear indicators of a mechanical problem. These noises can stem from a failing motor, a loose component, or issues with the burner assembly.
- The Furnace Does Not Produce Heat: If your furnace is running but blowing cool or lukewarm air, the problem could be related to the burner, a limit switch malfunction, or even an issue with the gas supply.
Attempting to diagnose these problems without proper training can be dangerous. A certified technician has the tools and expertise to safely identify the root cause and perform the correct repair.
