Unfortunately, furnaces tend to fail when we need them most – during the coldest days of winter. Fortunately, our skilled staff is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week to make emergency service calls. The expert HVAC technicians with Blue Valley Heating & Cooling of Frederick have several years of experience enabling them to quickly diagnose and repair all types of furnace models. Unfortunately, many heating and cooling companies will jump right to selling you an expensive new furnace when it is not needed! If your furnace can be repaired at a cost that makes it worth repairing, we will always offer you that option.
Furnace Repair Issues
- Damaged Mechanical Parts– Most furnace mechanical failures can be identified by squealing or rattling sounds when the furnace is in operation.
- Faulty Limit Switch– is usually to blame if the blower runs continuously. Get quiet for a time and take stock of just how long that blower is going. No stopping? Probably worth a call.
- Broken Thermostat– A broken or malfunctioning thermostat will cause irregular temperatures or prevent the furnace from turning on at all. Before making a call for repair, check the batteries or other power sources to see if a simple fix can be employed. If a new thermostat is needed, we can offer suggestions on brands, makes/models to fit your needs. We can also install that new thermostat for you.
- Clogged Air Filter– A clogged air filter causes restricted airflow, frequent cycling and can also damage the limit switch.
- Ignition Problems– Your furnace not igniting can come from a malfunctioning thermocouple or just a draft that extinguishes the pilot light.
In addition to resolving whatever issue is causing your furnace to malfunction, our technicians will also conduct a thorough safety inspection during the repair service. We will make sure that the unit’s electrical connections are secure, the safety shutoff is responsive and that there are no gas leaks. An annual furnace maintenance service is also highly recommended to prevent many furnace problems and ensure that your unit is operating at its maximum efficiency.
