Gas furnaces rely on an ignition system to light the burners. Ignition problems can result from faulty igniters, pilot lights, or electronic ignition components.

Sometimes, heating problems stem from a malfunctioning thermostat. It may not be accurately reading the temperature, leading to inconsistent heating or cooling.

The blower motor is responsible for circulating warm air throughout your home. If it fails, you may experience reduced airflow or no heat at all.

High-efficiency furnaces have condensate drains that can become clogged with debris. This can cause water leaks and affect the furnace’s operation.

The limit switch is a safety feature that shuts off the furnace if it gets too hot. A malfunctioning limit switch can cause the furnace to overheat and shut down prematurely.

Older furnaces with pilot lights may experience issues with the pilot light going out or the ignition control system failing.

Over time, the burners in a gas furnace can become dirty or corroded, affecting their ability to produce a consistent flame.

The flame sensor ensures that the burners are lit. If it’s dirty or malfunctioning, it can cause the furnace to cycle on and off or not ignite at all.

Cracks or leaks in the heat exchanger can be a serious issue, as they can release carbon monoxide into your home. This is a critical safety concern and should be addressed immediately.

Various electrical components, such as wiring and control boards, can develop issues over time. These may require professional diagnosis and repair.

Autism is a disorder, and it comes in many forms and levels of severity. It could be mild in one child, and severe in another. In any case, it isn't a disease for which we should find a cure. Rather, it's a condition families and their children need to learn to live with on a dialy basis. With the right coping mechanisms and care, we see significant change for the better.

Furnaces should be serviced annually. Annual maintenance helps keep your furnace running efficiently, reduces the risk of breakdowns, and ensures safety by detecting potential issues early.

If your furnace stops working, first check the thermostat settings, air filter, and circuit breaker. If those are not the issues, it’s best to contact a professional HVAC technician at Mayster Heating & Air Conditioning to diagnose and repair the problem.

Some basic maintenance tasks like changing air filters can be done by homeowners. However, most furnace repairs, especially those involving gas or electrical components, should be performed by a qualified technician to ensure safety and proper repairs.

Signs that your furnace may need repairs include inadequate heating, unusual noises (e.g., banging, squealing), a sudden increase in energy bills, frequent cycling on and off, uneven heating, and visible damage or corrosion on furnace components.

The decision to repair or replace an old furnace depends on factors like the furnace’s age, the extent of the repair needed, and its energy efficiency. Generally, if the repair cost is significant and your furnace is near the end of its lifespan, it may be more cost-effective to replace it with a newer, more efficient model.
