Your furnace is a highly important piece of equipment. You rely on your home to keep you protected from the outside elements, and your furnace makes sure that everyone stays warm when temperatures dip low. The best time to get ahead of problems is before they become serious.
Electrical problems aren’t always as scary as they sound, especially when addressed early. There are three common reasons behind your furnace electrical problems. By identifying your problem, you can determine what action needs to be taken.
1. Clogged Filter
We understand. It can be scary to confront furnace problems. After all, the cost can range significantly depending on the problem. That’s why it’s best to start with the common, inexpensive options first.
When your filter gets clogged, dust and debris can ultimately end up in your blower motor, and this can lead to your fuse burning out. If your filter has gotten this dirty, it’s best to have a professional do the following:
- Change the filter
- Change the fuse
- Clean the system
2. Issues with the Transformer
Larger homes or offices often have a furnace system that uses more than 120 volts. In this case, a transformer is needed to convert the voltage to run the necessary systems and to keep everything working properly. When things go wrong, this can cause the furnace to short circuit.
Here at Lion Home Service, our staff is skilled in professional furnace maintenance, and we’re here to apply the repairs needed to put your transformer issues behind you for the long-term.
3. Faulty Thermostat Control Wire
To protect your furnace from overheating, there’s a special fuse on your control board. If you have recently worked on yours, there’s a chance you could have accidentally caused a short that damaged this fuse.
