Frequently Asked Questions
How do I troubleshoot my gas furnace?
There are several things you can check before calling a certified HVAC specialist to inspect your furnace:
- Check your filter, and change it if it’s clogged.
- Inspect your thermostat to verify it’s properly set.
- Check for a tripped breaker.
- Ensure the pilot light is lit and blue.
If you still can’t resolve the issue, a professional can assist you.
Do faulty pilot lights give off carbon monoxide?
Pilot lights should be blue. If they’re yellow or orange, they aren’t burning efficiently.
Yellow or orange pilot lights will also produce carbon monoxide. If you suspect a carbon monoxide leak, you should evacuate immediately.
How do you tell if a furnace's gas valve is bad?
If you smell natural gas, experience a furnace shutdown, or have a flooded furnace, it’s possible your gas valve has failed and needs to be replaced.
What are the benefits of an electric furnace?
Electric furnaces are low-maintenance, energy-efficient, and provide consistent heat without the need for fuel storage or combustion. They’re a great option for homes looking for reliable, hassle-free heating.
How long does an oil furnace last?
With proper maintenance, an oil furnace can last between 15 and 25 years. Regular service, like cleaning the burner and checking the fuel tank, helps extend its lifespan.
