Common types of furnace repairs

It can be costly if you neglect your furnace. There are some minor furnace repairs that you can do yourself, while some need to be performed by trained heating system technicians. In an emergency after regular business hours, call Fisher Heating at 206-202-9499 or 425-406-3050 for its 24-hour furnace repair service.

Here are some of the most common types of heating system repair:

·         Clogged or dirty filters

The efficiency of the furnace decreases when its filters are clogged or dirty. A dirty or clogged filter forces your furnace to work harder to push heated air around the home. Doing so can lead to damage to the fan motor as it will work to its limit. It is a fire hazard, aside from causing more expensive repair.

·         Inaccurate thermostat

The thermostat is vital to the regular function of the furnace as it dictates the temperature you need to keep your house warm. It also sets the frequency for the system to turn on and off automatically to maintain the temperature inside the house. There is a problem with the thermostat if it keeps resetting.

·         Breakdown of components

Several furnace components, such as burners, fan blades, pilots, motors, switches, filters, belts, and bearings would breakdown after some time. A regular checkup will determine which parts need replacement or cleaning.

·         Problem with ignition

If there is a problem with the furnace’s ignition, it cannot generate heat. Depending on the brand and type, the furnace could have a hot surface system, gas-powered, electrical spark, or electrical-powered ignition system. A licensed furnace repair technician is needed to check this problem.

·         Frequent cycling between on and off

In this case, call on 24-hour furnace repair for a licensed heating system technician to come and inspect the unit. The rapid cycled between on and off could be due to a defective fan motor, a problem with the thermostat, or a dirty filter.

·         Irregular or odd noises

When a furnace is running, it is normal to hear some noise. However, if you hear odd noises that are out of the ordinary, such as rattles, clangs, bangs, squeaks, and rumbles, call Fischer Heating’s 24-hour furnace repair service at once. These types of noises indicate that there are problems with the heating system. Some components may have detached or loosened. Pests could have occupied the furnace or some debris could have entered the system.

Keep in mind that a sudden increase in your electric bill even when the furnace is not used means that your furnace needs a visit from a qualified technician. Call Fischer Heating for 24-hour furnace service at 206-202-9499 or 425-406-3050 for an emergency repair or to quickly make an appointment with our licensed technician.
