Gas Furnace Repair Near Me

DIY Furnace Repair:

If you're so inclined, it may turn out that you can solve your heating problem on your own. Many of our emergency heat calls turn out to be really simple fixes. Common DIY gas furnace remedies include:

• Does your furnace have power?

  ---

  • Check your furnace circuit breaker panel to ensure that your heating system breaker hasn't tripped.
  • Check the "Emergency Switch" for your furnace. This is typically a toggle switch with a RED cover-plate adjacent to the entrance to your utility space.
  • Is the thermal fuse missing? Some furnace utility spaces have a replaceable thermal fuse on the ceiling near the furnace. Make sure that fuse is in place.
• Does your furnace have natural gas?

  ---

  • Make sure the manual shutoff valve on the gas line to your furnace is turned "ON". Verify with another gas appliance like your oven or range that your home has natural gas available.
• Is your thermostat in good order and calling for heat?

  ---

  • If it has batteries, change your thermostat batteries now.
  • Make sure your thermostat is "ON", is set to "HEAT", and the desired room temperature is set higher than the current ambient temperature.
• Condensing furnace vent outlets

  If you have a plastic vented condensing furnace they often discharge out the side of your home.

  ---

  • If this is the first cold snap of the season and you can access your vent termination safely, check to make sure there is nothing like leaves or insect debris obstructing your vent terminal or combustion air intake.
  • Winter storm warning? If you have recently had a significant snowfall, check your furnace vent to ensure that it is clear of snow.
    
• Is there proper airflow through your furnace and ductwork?

  ---

  • If your furnace has a disposable filter, change it now.
  • Verify that almost all of your systems supply registers and cold air returns are open and free of obstruction.

• Heat system is not working at all. There appears to have power and gas, but nothing at all happens on a call for heat:
  • A blocked vent system, condensate line, or lack of power.
  • A failed component like a transformer, furnace control, or inducer motor.
• Furnace tries to start, but either fails to fire, or fire drops out shortly after lighting:
  • An obstructed vent system.
  • Improper grounding or incorrect gas pressure.
  • Problem with the burners, heat exchanger, or flame safety system.
• The heating system generally runs, but needs to be restarted every once in a while.
  • Problem with the thermostat or T-stat batteries.
  • Problem with the flame safety components, gas valve or gas pressure, or the heat exchanger.
• Furnace runs, but something seems to have changed:
  • Dirty filters and lack of maintenance. This would cause inconsistent temperature or wide temperature swings, unusual blower noise, or rapid furnace cycling.

If your furnace is more than 12 years old, or if we find your furnace needs major repairs, we may recommend you consider upgrading to a new Armstrong furnace. Learn more about new furnace installations here
