The Most Common Furnace Issues
Clogged Air Filter: A clogged air filter is one of the leading causes of breakdowns for all gas furnaces, heat pumps, and air conditioners. When your filter is clogged, your furnace chokes at the intake. Straining furnaces work much harder, and moving parts are more likely to fail. Protect your furnace by regularly changing your air filter.
Poor Airflow: A clogged air filter is one of the most common causes of poor airflow. Other causes include leaks in the ductwork, mechanical problems with the air handler, and closed air vents.
Thermostat Not Working Properly: Your thermostat tells your gas furnace when to turn on and off. So, even if your heating system works great, a faulty thermostat can completely mess with your temperature levels. One way to avoid this is to replace the batteries in your thermostat to ensure it has enough power.
A modern energy-efficient gas furnace has an extremely high annual fuel utilization efficiency. These energy star-rated appliances are designed to produce heat effectively using the least amount of natural gas or propane. A properly calibrated programmable or smart thermostat can save you hundreds of dollars on unnecessary energy bills.
Cracked Heat Exchanger: The heat exchanger in gas furnaces transfers the energy from burning natural gas or propane into the air circulating through your furnace blower fan. Without proper maintenance, dirt, debris, and blockages can form on the heat exchanger. Over time, cracks can develop in your furnace’s heat exchanger. This is a dangerous problem because the cracks let carbon monoxide seep into your home’s air.
During gas furnace maintenance, our technicians examine and adjust heat exchangers. We test for leaks and cracks and visually inspect for signs of soot or sediment. Suppose you hear strange sounds, detect unusual smells, or otherwise suspect a fuel leak. In that case, you should contact us immediately to have your system inspected if your carbon monoxide detector is giving you warnings.
Pilot Light or Ignition Issues: If your gas furnace is not turning on, one common explanation is that you have issues with your pilot light or electronic ignition. A single-stage gas furnace and a two-stage gas furnace feature unique designs. No matter what system you own, our technicians are familiar with all the major brands and models.
Whether you have an older system or a newer furnace design with an electronic ignition system, our team is ready to restore operations and help you save energy.
Strange Sounds: An old furnace may make more noise than a new furnace, but you should know the familiar hum of a well-running gas furnace. Energy-efficient furnaces offer quieter operation, so respond quickly when an unfamiliar sound is heard from within your furnace or ductwork. Gas furnaces have many moving parts running at high speeds. Even a small
General System Malfunctioning:
When any part of your furnace stops working, it can create a domino effect that causes other parts of your system to malfunction. You might notice that your furnace is short-cycling, making noises, smelling of exhaust gasses, or not producing less heat than normal.

Commercial Furnace Installation, Repair & Maintenance Services
Creating a comfortable work environment goes beyond purchasing nice office furniture; there are more vital elements to consider, like the temperature inside the workspace—or eating area. Whether considering a commercial furnace for a new building or replacing an existing installation, several things are worth considering.
Furnace Installation or Replacement
In your business, often, you need to look at the bigger picture. Yet, furnace repair is not sufficient to fix your furnace. Sometimes, a new furnace is the most cost-effective and energy-efficient. Even though it may be a little more expensive up front, it’s an investment in your company. With a new system, you will spend less on energy and heating costs.
We will always be honest with you about a possible furnace replacement. We value our time and your money.
Consider these details.
- Reduce maintenance costs: You won’t require as many repairs or need to find outdated—and more expensive—original parts.
- Boost energy efficiency: Modern systems use less electricity to provide the same heating/cooling power, so they can lower your company’s utility bills.
- Remove contaminants: Dust, pollen, viruses, and other pollutants are more effectively removed, improving indoor air quality and the well-being of employees and customers.
Furnace Repair
We repair all makes and models, rooftop and indoor units, and we will never try to sell you a service you don’t need. Our technicians are honest and hard-working, and we’re always transparent and fair about our work.
Common commercial furnace repair issues include:
Dirty filters are one of the most common issues. A clogged filter restricts airflow and makes the furnace work harder.
Malfunctioning thermostat: This can cause the furnace to produce unnecessary heat or not heat enough when needed.
Clogged drain lines: A frequent problem in commercial HVAC systems, where water buildup can damage the unit.
Ignition issues: A faulty ignition system prevents the furnace from starting properly.
Cracked heat exchanger: This is a serious safety concern, as a cracked heat exchanger can release carbon monoxide into the air.
Blower motor problems: Issues like worn bearings, faulty capacitors, or a broken fan belt can affect the blower motor’s function.
Frequent cycling: The furnace turns on and off rapidly due to restricted airflow, often caused by blocked vents.
Tripped circuit breaker: An overloaded circuit can cause the breaker to trip, preventing the furnace from starting.
Lack of maintenance: Regular maintenance is crucial to prevent many common furnace problems.
Pilot light issues: In furnaces with a pilot light, a faulty pilot can lead to ignition problems
Maintenance Service
Routine maintenance enables your commercial HVAC system to run at peak efficiency. It can help avoid unforeseen problems and mitigate minor issues leading to system failure and expensive repairs.
Maintenance means fewer repairs, a longer system lifespan, and improved indoor air quality.
Commercial Furnace Maintenance can provide many benefits:
Improved air quality: Regular maintenance can remove allergens, pollutants, and contaminants from the air, which can help create a healthier environment for building occupants.
Reduced energy bills: Regular maintenance can help ensure that the furnace works efficiently, leading to lower energy bills.
Extended equipment lifespan: Regular maintenance can help extend the furnace’s lifespan by preventing burn-out and failure.
