Frequently Asked Questions

Your furnace is a key element of your home's heating system, tirelessly ensuring your living space remains warm and inviting. Knowing when it's time for a furnace replacement involves careful consideration of several factors, unique to each household's situation. Just like appliances, some furnaces may perform efficiently for many years, while others might require earlier replacement.

Deciding to install a new furnace is a substantial investment, with the potential to affect your home's comfort for upwards of 20 years. It's essential, then, to undertake detailed research and pose relevant questions before finalizing your choice. Modern furnaces are integral to comprehensive HVAC systems that not only heat your home but also improve air quality and overall comfort.

In choosing a new furnace, while the brand and model matter, the expertise of the installation and service provider is equally critical. The quality of the installation, along with warranty and service support, can greatly influence the efficiency and lifespan of your furnace. Opting for a service provider known for their reliability and excellence in after-sales support should be a top priority in your furnace installation process.

The most common problem with furnaces, particularly as they age, is a failure to produce heat or insufficient heating. This issue can stem from a variety of causes, including

  1. Dirty or Clogged Filters One of the simplest yet most common issues is a dirty air filter, which can restrict airflow and reduce the furnace's efficiency. Over time, this can lead to overheating and even damage to the furnace.

  2. Ignition or Pilot Control Problems For gas furnaces, problems with the ignition system or pilot light can prevent the furnace from producing heat. This could be due to a faulty ignition system, a extinguished pilot light, or issues with the thermocouple.

  3. Thermostat Issues A malfunctioning thermostat can lead to problems with the comfort level, where the furnace doesn’t produce enough heat or heats the home unevenly. It can also cause the furnace to cycle on and off more frequently than necessary.

  4. Wear and Tear Normal wear and tear can affect the performance of your furnace, leading to airflow problems, heat control-related issues, or even overheating.

  5. Electrical Problems Electrical issues, including blown fuses, tripped circuit breakers, or wiring problems, can prevent the furnace from turning on or functioning properly.

  6. Mechanical Wear Components such as belts and bearings can wear out over time, leading to airflow issues, overheating, or mechanical failure.

  7. Blocked Air Vents or Ducts Blocked or leaky ducts can restrict airflow, reducing the furnace's efficiency and ability to heat the home evenly.

  8. Dirty or Malfunctioning Components Dirty burners, sensors, and other components can reduce efficiency. In some cases, these parts may malfunction, requiring repair or replacement.

Addressing these common problems often starts with regular maintenance, including changing the air filter, checking the thermostat settings, and ensuring vents are open and unblocked. However, for more complex issues like ignition problems, mechanical wear, or electrical faults, it's best to consult a professional HVAC technician to diagnose and repair the furnace safely and effectively.

The most expensive repair on a furnace typically involves replacing the heat exchanger. The heat exchanger is a critical component that separates combustion gases from the breathable air inside your home, ensuring safe operation. Over time, heat exchangers can crack due to stress from repeated heating and cooling cycles, corrosion, or poor maintenance. A cracked heat exchanger poses serious safety risks, including the potential for carbon monoxide leaks into your home.

Replacing a heat exchanger is labor-intensive and requires disassembling much of the furnace, which contributes to the high cost. In some cases, depending on the age and condition of the furnace, the cost of replacing the heat exchanger can be comparable to, or even exceed, the cost of installing a new furnace. This is why, when faced with a damaged heat exchanger, homeowners often have to weigh the cost of repair against the benefits of upgrading to a new, more efficient furnace model.

Troubleshooting your furnace can help identify minor issues that you might be able to fix on your own, saving time and possibly the cost of a service call. However, remember that dealing with gas, electricity, and the furnace's internal components can be dangerous. If you're not comfortable performing these steps or if the problem persists, it's best to contact a professional. Here’s a basic troubleshooting guide

  1. Check the Thermostat

    • Ensure it's set to "heat" mode and the temperature setting is higher than the current room temperature.

    • Check if the thermostat requires new batteries if it's battery-operated.

    • Verify that any programmable settings are correctly set to your current needs.

  2. Inspect the Power Supply

    • Ensure the furnace's power switch is turned on. This switch usually looks like a regular light switch and is located near the furnace.

    • Check your home's electrical panel for any tripped breakers or blown fuses that could affect the furnace.

  3. Look at the Furnace Filter

    • A dirty filter can restrict airflow, causing the furnace to run less efficiently or overheat. Check the filter and replace it if it's dirty.

  4. Examine the Air Vents

    • Make sure all vents in the home are open and unblocked to ensure proper air circulation.

  5. Check the Furnace Flame

    • The flame should be blue with possibly a small yellow tip. If it's mostly yellow, or if it looks uneven or weak, the burner may need adjustment or cleaning. (Note: Do not attempt to adjust or clean the burner yourself if you are not experienced with this task.)

  6. Ensure the Gas is On

    • If you have a gas furnace, make sure the gas valve leading to the furnace is open.

  7. Inspect the Condensate Pan

    • If you have a high-efficiency furnace, check the condensate pan and drain line. A clogged drain can cause the furnace to shut down.

  8. Reset the Furnace

    • Locate the furnace switch (it might also be on the furnace itself or on the wall nearby) and turn it off for about a minute. Turn it back on to reset the system. Some furnaces also have a reset button.

  9. Check for Blocked or Leaky Ducts

    • Leaks or blockages in your ductwork can significantly reduce heating efficiency.

  10. Listen for Unusual Noises

    • Strange noises like banging, whining, or squealing can indicate mechanical problems that may need professional attention.

  11. Safety First

    • If you smell gas or suspect a gas leak, do not attempt to troubleshoot or repair the furnace yourself. Leave your home immediately and call your gas company from a safe location.

  12. When to Call a Professional

    • If after your initial troubleshooting the furnace still doesn't work correctly, or if you're unsure about any steps, it's time to call a professional. HVAC technicians can safely and efficiently diagnose and repair more complex issues.

Heating your house without a functioning furnace, especially during cold weather, requires creative and safe methods to maintain warmth until the furnace can be repaired. Here are some alternative ways to keep your house warm

  1. Use Electric Space Heaters Portable electric heaters can be a quick way to heat up small areas of your home. Use them in the rooms you're occupying, keeping the doors closed to retain heat. Always follow safety guidelines to prevent fire hazards.

  2. Take Advantage of Solar Heat During the day, open curtains on your south-facing windows to let sunlight in and naturally warm your home. Close the curtains at night to keep the cold out.

  3. Seal Drafts Use weather stripping, door sweeps, or even towels to block drafts under doors and around windows to keep the cold air out and the warm air in.

  4. Insulate Windows Apply clear plastic film to the inside of your windows to add an extra layer of insulation. This can significantly reduce heat loss.

  5. Utilize Your Fireplace If you have a wood-burning fireplace, use it to provide additional heat. Ensure the damper is open when in use and closed when not to prevent warm air from escaping up the chimney.

  6. Cook and Bake Using your oven and stove for cooking can add extra warmth to your home. Just be sure to never use a gas oven as a direct heat source or leave it open while on, as it can be a safety hazard.

  7. Use Warm Clothing and Blankets Layering up with warm clothing and using blankets can help maintain body heat and keep you comfortable without central heating.

  8. Close Off Unused Rooms Shut doors to rooms that are not in use to keep the heat concentrated in a smaller area.

  9. Use Rugs and Carpets If you have hardwood or tile floors, using rugs can help insulate the floors and keep your feet warmer.

  10. Exercise Physical activity can help raise your body temperature, making you feel warmer.

  11. Safety First While finding alternative heating methods, prioritize safety to prevent fire hazards or carbon monoxide poisoning. Never use outdoor heating equipment indoors (like barbecues or propane heaters) as they can release deadly carbon monoxide.

  12. Long-Term Solutions Consider investing in insulation, double-glazing for windows, and upgrading to energy-efficient doors and windows for a longer-term solution to heating problems. These improvements can help reduce the need for emergency heating methods in the future.

If your furnace is broken, arrange for a repair as soon as possible to ensure your home remains safe and comfortable during the cold months.

Hands down the best experience and customer service I have received in years. Glyn and Austin came out to help me within a couple of hours of calling for an electrician to figure out why I didn’t have power to my furnace. They were kind and explained every step of the process. I will only use Finan Home Service going forward for all issues that arise in my home. I cannot thank you enough!!

Finana helped with our furnace when it was causing us issues. The team was extremely flexible and accommodating. The guys who came to help out were absolutely professional and super friendly. The team explained what was going wrong, what my options were, and didn't push or try to sell me anything I didn't need yet. When the time does come (hopefully longer than sooner) to replace my furnace there isn't another company I would even contemplate using.

Had Finan come out to fix a broken drainage pipe in our bathroom. Turned out to be a bigger job thanks to the previous homeowner's terrible DIY plumbing skills. Spoke to Sam at the office who very quickly set me up with the right peeps. The guys came out and were able to fix/replace the problem in less than 4 hours. Super friendly and professional. Will recommend to anyone looking for home service. Thanks again.

Great visit today from Connor and Cole! Friendly, informative, and great quality work and I am hard to please. Update: Had Connor back today to finish up the work. My new kitchen cabinets are going to look great and now the plumbing also looks great and allows for maximum storage under the sink. Quality work from a personable professional! Thank you!
