  • What are some causes of furnace failure?

    A furnace is essential for keeping your home warm during cold weather. It also helps keep your home cool during hot weather. The best way to maintain your furnace is to have regular maintenance done. You may not realize that some simple things can cause your furnace to break down. Here are four common reasons why your furnace could stop working.



    1. Furnace Filter Replacement

    A furnace filter traps dirt particles, so they don’t enter your home. When your furnace filter becomes dirty, it causes airflow problems which can lead to other issues. To prevent this problem, make sure you replace your furnace filter regularly.


    2. Burner Problems

    This breakdown can happen for many different reasons. If your burner stops working, then your furnace won’t work either. Make sure you contact your HVAC technician immediately if you suspect any of the following symptoms:

    • No flames
    • Burning smell
    • Smoke coming out of the chimney

    3. Airflow Issues

    If your airflow isn’t good enough, it can affect the efficiency of your furnace. That’s why you must ensure proper ventilation in your home. Ensure that all windows and doors are open for maximum airflow.


    4. Electrical System Malfunction

    If your electrical system malfunctions, then your furnace won’t start. The electric system has two main components: the power supply and the control board. Both parts must function correctly for your furnace to operate.

  • How do I choose which type of HVAC system to install?

    There are several factors to consider when choosing a furnace installation company. The most important consideration is whether the installer has experience installing both gas and electric furnaces. 


    It’s also helpful if they have experience working in older homes because many homeowners don’t realize how different or outdated their furnace is until it comes time to replace it.

  • Where should my furnace go?

    If you already have a chimney, adjust it before installing your new furnace. If you have a brick chimney, you may have to remove a few bricks to allow room for the furnace. You may also have to widen the opening of the flue pipe so that it fits around the furnace.

  • Is it possible to add insulation to my existing ductwork?

    Yes, it is possible to insulate the ductwork in your home. Ductwork insulation can reduce your monthly utility bills by up to 20 percent. To learn more about this process, contact us today!

  • Do I need a permit to replace my furnace?

    While you will need a building permit to replace any part of your house, you only need a permit if you plan to replace your entire furnace.

  • Are there any benefits to having a professional install my furnace?

    It is always better to hire a professional to perform your furnace installation. They will ensure everything goes smoothly and correctly. Also, we recommend using a licensed contractor to avoid costly mistakes.

  • Can I get financing for my furnace installation?

    Yes. You can apply for financing through a local bank or credit union. Contact one of our representatives to find out more information.

  • Should I buy a brand name or a generic furnace?

    This decision depends entirely on what kind of warranty you want from your furnace. Brand-name furnaces usually include a more extended warranty period. Generic furnaces typically cost less money but are made by smaller companies.

  • Should I invest in a programmable thermostat?

    Programmable thermostats save you time and money by automatically adjusting your temperature settings based on your schedule. For example, if you leave early in the morning, your thermostat will turn down your heat at night. If you arrive home late at night, your thermostat might raise your heat again.

  • What size furnace should I buy?

    The square footage of your home determines the size of your furnace. Most people purchase a furnace with a capacity of 15 cubic feet per minute (CFM).

  • When should I change my furnace filter?

    You should change your furnace filter every three months. If you notice dust collecting on the filters, it’s time to clean them.

  • How do I know if my furnace needs to be replaced?

    Check your furnace once a year to see if it needs to be repaired or replaced. Some signs that you need to replace your furnace include the following:

    • A strong odor is coming from your vents
    • Your furnace doesn’t run properly
    • Your furnace isn’t heating your home as efficiently as it used to
    • Your furnace makes loud noises
    • Your furnace uses too much energy
    • Your furnace has an unusual amount of wear and tear
