Home Furnace Repair

Today’s forced-air heating systems consist of a furnace heating the air, a large blower (motor-powered fan) for circulation, and a maze of air ducts going throughout your home to deliver the heated air. A separate system of air ducts is in place to bring back the air for re-heating by your furnace.

Furnace repair often comes when you most need your heater! The bad news is most furnace repairs require a service professional. The good news is that you can avoid a heater repair through seasonal maintenance, routine cleaning, filter replacements and other adjustments that give your central heating furnace longer life and less demand for repair. Gas furnace repair can be reduced by keeping the thermocouple, pilot and burner tubes clean. Limit your oil furnace repair by doing tasks like cleaning the oil burners and keeping them well-oiled.

Things can go wrong your system such as broken belts, fan motor failure or thermostat problems. Luckily these issues are rare. This section will cover some basic furnace fixes as well as many of the furnace maintenance items you can do to help avoid too many furnace repairs in your life.
