Signs You Need A Furnace Repair

TLC’s experienced HVAC pros are qualified and experienced to repair all types of furnace problems. Here are some common problems we fix and see frequently.

Furnace won’t turn on – Our professional repairmen are experienced to troubleshoot the furnace to determine why the furnace won’t start and the heater up and running again.
Furnace keeps running – Sometimes a furnace won’t shut off even though it’s reached the desired temperature. We will determine why the blower won’t shut off and resolve this issue for you.
Doesn’t keep you warm – If your furnace doesn’t keep your home warm TLC’s repairmen will quickly troubleshoot the furnace. We often see this in older furnaces, we will always offer options to repair versus replace. However, in some cases with very old furnaces it might need to be replaced.
Furnace cycles on and off – A furnace that cycles on and off but doesn’t actually heat your home is likely failing to start for safety reasons. This is a common problem we see from lack of maintenance. Our HVAC pros will identify and repair or replace parts that are preventing the furnace from safely starting.
Pilot or ignition problems – Only much older furnaces will have a pilot that can be lit. Newer furnaces that have an ignition switch cannot be repaired without a licensed heating contractor. We always recommend you call TLC or another reputable company if you suspect your pilot is out.

Furnace repair costs vary based on the following:

Type of repair needed- some repairs are simple and can be done relatively quickly.
Emergency repairs – if your heat goes out unexpectedly in the middle of the night or on a weekend after our normal hours your repair may more costly after hours.
Lack of maintenance – if you ignore maintenance needs for your furnace your repairs may be more costly because lack of maintenance can add up to bigger repairs. We always recommend an annual furnace inspection. Also, if you don’t have your furnace maintained by an HVAC company each year you can void your warranty and pay more out of pocket.

Customer Story in Corrales

TLC replaces faulty, troublesome boiler

Problem: It was a cold evening when Ed realized his home wasn’t getting any warmer when he adjusted his thermostat. After dealing with boiler issues in the past, he knew that his boiler was likely the root of the problem. After doing some research online, he called the TLC team to get some help.

Solution: Two of our comfort consultants, Keanu and Michael, arrived quickly to meet with Ed and inspect his boiler. After a thorough inspection, they discovered that Ed’s boiler was old and no longer operating efficiently. In order to solve Ed’s heating issue, they’d need to install a new boiler. Our comfort consultants educated Ed about his boiler replacement options and gave him upfront pricing for each option. After Ed made his selection, our team installed his new boiler and all of Ed’s heating issues were resolved.

THE CUSTOMER'S TESTIMONIAL

“Keanu and Michael S installed a new boiler heater system for us and the work was excellent. Both the removal of the old system and installation of the new boiler was a very challenging activity. They did excellent work and the quality of work was very good. They continued to follow up on the new system until all the issues were resolved. We highly recommend TLC and these individuals. Thank you.”

Furnace Repair Troubleshooting

TLC offers around the clock service, so we’re here for you day or night when you have a problem with your furnace. Don’t get left out in the cold, call the heating experts at TLC today.

Check the thermostat settings – The fan should be set to auto; In other modes, the fan will run continuously. When the fan is set to auto it will only blow warm air.

Furnace Overheated – Most commonly a dirty air filter will block airflow, causing your furnace to overheat. Change the air filter.

Check your pilot – Newer furnaces have burners not a single pilot like older furnaces. If you don’t see the burners lit or the pilot on, its time to call an HVAC repair company. We do not recommend attempting to relight the pilot or access the burners on your own.

There are a couple of reasons why your furnace will run constantly – The first step you should do is adjust the thermostat, make sure it is on AUTO not ON and turn it down lower than the current temperature. If this doesn’t shut off the furnace after about 5 minutes, you should then replace the furnace filter.

If after you change your filter and your furnace keeps running then it's time to call an HVAC company. There are a few reasons a furnace will run constantly that need repair:

Fan Limit Problems – If the blower won’t turn off the fan inside the furnace could need to be repaired or replaced.
Thermostat wiring problem – If the thermostat wiring is faulty it will need to be troubleshooted and replaced.

First, you should check your thermostat. Make sure it is turning on if you have a programmable thermostat. Many times we respond to calls and the batteries just needed to be replaced. Once you’ve checked the batteries make sure to turn the temperature higher than the current room temperature to ensure the heat will kick on. If you don’t hear it turn on check to make sure that the furnace is plugged in and has power to it. If these tips don’t get your furnace to power on you need to call a professional to evaluate your furnace further.

Loud noises coming from your furnace can be caused by a blower problem, mechanical problem, or even airflow reductions from a clogged filter.

The best thing to do is to change your air filter. If you continue to have problems call a professional to inspect. If your furnace makes knocking noises when the gas is turned on this could signal you may have some ignition problems. Call a professional to evaluate your furnace.

Frequent cycling on & off may be caused by a few things.

Check your filter – The first thing you need to do is change or clean your filter. A clogged and dirty filter can restrict airflow causing the furnace to cycle on and off.

Mechanical problems – If you’ve changed your filter and are still experiencing problems its time to call an HVAC professional. Many times the burners or ignition controls can be malfunctioning, causing the furnace to cycle on and off which will require a professional to evaluate and repair.

Furnace sized incorrectly – It is possible that your furnace is oversized for your home. An oversized furnace will short cycle or turn on and off frequently. This happens because too much heat is put into the house too quickly. If you suspect this problem talk to a professional HVAC technician about maintenance you can do to keep your furnace running properly.

If your furnace smells, in general, it could be gas or a leak in the heat exchanger. If you smell gas at all or our carbon monoxide detectors go off immediately leave the house and call the gas company as soon as possible.

If your furnace smells after starting up for the first time it could be that the unit needs to be cleaned. If you notice a funky smell you should contact a professional HVAC repairman to inspect the unit and give you peace of mind.

If your furnace is leaking water it can be due to a leak somewhere in the system. While this is highly unlikely but possible the water is more likely from condensation. If you have a high-efficiency furnace they are condensing units but if it is leaking you need to have it evaluated by a professional. If you have a standard furnace and the flue vent is over-sized your furnace will start condensing and maybe the possible cause for the leak. Regardless when you notice a water leak in or around your furnace you should call a professional to diagnose the problem and repair the unit.

A furnace typically lasts approximately 15-20 years. This depends on how well the furnace is taken care of. If you get your furnace inspected each year you can extend the life of your furnace. But if you start having problems with your furnace and it is about 15 years old you might have to start thinking about replacing it. Our repairmen will do their best to repair your furnace. But there does come a time when the repair costs out weigh the replacement costs and when you should consider replacing the furnace.
