Gas Furnace Repair and Replacement
One of the most common problems with furnaces is a system that won’t turn on. The first thing we recommend checking is the circuit breaker. Even most gas furnaces need some electricity. If the breaker has tripped, you can reset it once, but don’t reset it repeatedly. If that’s not the issue, check the pilot light. If it’s gone out, you can relight it once. Contact us if it’s difficult to light or it keeps going out, as that indicates a more serious problem.
Another common gas furnace repair issue is a system that runs but provides cold air. Turn the system to the “on” mode and listen for the fan. If the fan doesn’t come on, then it could be an issue with the fan itself or the electrical system. If it does come on, check the gas supply. If it’s open, the valve may be bad and need replacement. Other more serious potential problems include a failed or failing ignitor or draft motor.
Should you repair your furnace or replace it? It’s typically a matter of repair costs and system age. Around the 15-year mark is when you should strongly consider gas furnace replacement. You should also consider a replacement if the repair will cost 50% or more of a new installation.
As mentioned, new gas furnaces are impressively efficient. The industry measures that efficiency using the annual fuel utilization efficiency (AFUE) rating. AFUE indicates how much gas a furnace successfully converts into heat. The minimum for gas furnaces is AFUE 80. That means a system wastes only 20% of the fuel it burns. There are high-efficiency furnaces with an AFUE above 98. That can save you a lot of money over the years.
One way these higher AFUE ratings are possible is through condensing systems. Traditional gas furnaces lose significant heat energy through their exhaust systems. Condensing systems avoid this loss with a second heat exchanger.
Watch for the signs you need gas furnace replacement or repair:
- Strange noises
- Diminished indoor air quality
- Increased energy consumption
- Home not getting warm enough
- Pilot light burning a color other than blue
