Combustion-based furnaces can run into a lot of problems. Some of these issues can provide a potentially deadly environment for you and your family if not taken care of, which is why it\u2019s critically important to be aware of exactly what\u2019s going on with your furnace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you get furnace repair in Shreveport<\/a>, it could be for any number of reasons. But we wanted to take this time to focus on the more urgent ones. If you\u2019re facing these problems, it could be a precursor to a full-scale breakdown or dangerous environment for your family.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Sudden Spike in Energy Bills<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You\u2019re familiar with your usual utility bills. When there\u2019s a few dollars out of place here or there, it\u2019s not a concern. But when a huge spike happens, it sends off red flags. If you\u2019re wondering where the sudden increase came from, it very well could be your furnace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This means your furnace is working harder than normal to maintain the heat in your home. It could be working harder for a multitude of reasons, but that\u2019s for your technician to determine upon inspection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Flickering Pilot Light<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Your pilot light simply isn\u2019t burning the way it\u2019s supposed to. There should be a strong, consistent flame keeping your furnace operation going. Dirt can get into your pilot light and make it hard to stay lit, or it could be an airflow-related problem.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The issue could be insufficient gas supply coming through to your furnace as well. While the problem isn\u2019t immediately obvious, something\u2019s certainly wrong. Your technician will determine what the issue is and inform you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Short Cycling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

This is a term you may have heard regarding your air conditioner, but it can happen to furnaces as well. This could be due to something as simple as a clogged air filter, but it could also be related to your thermostat malfunctioning. This not only costs you more money, but you won\u2019t get the level of heating you desire when short cycling occurs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Short cycling can also happen when the flue is clogged. This is a huge issue because it can cause carbon monoxide to circulate into your home, which is a lethal gas that results in hundreds of deaths per year in the United States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cracked Heat Exchanger<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The heat exchanger is where fuel combusts, and a byproduct of that is carbon monoxide. If the heat exchanger has a crack in it (even a hairline fracture kind of crack), carbon monoxide can leak into your home. If the crack is large enough that it\u2019s visible to the naked or untrained eye, then it\u2019s an enormous problem and you should evacuate your home immediately, then call for emergency furnace repair.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Don\u2019t Delay Repairs Any Longer<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

While furnaces are extremely reliable machines, they\u2019re also dangerous if you don\u2019t account for all the potential problems you can run into. If you\u2019re experiencing any repair concerns, especially those listed in this post, contact us immediately so we can get a repair technician out to you as soon as possible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
