There are common furnace problems you can explore.

Some of them are:

  • Clogged filters
  • Pilot light problems
  • Overrun heat pump
  • Lack of airflow


If you have an overrun heat pump, this means it's constantly running. They're best for areas that are normally less than 35 F.

If your fan motors aren't properly working, this can cause a lack of airflow. When it's not maintained, your furnace can overheat.

When you have a clogged filter, that means your furnace has to work harder for air circulation. Make sure you change the air filters every month to avoid this.

A modern heater will have one or two ignition systems. When there's a mechanical problem, it can cause no heat or a problem with the heat coming out of the vents.

A lack of maintenance can cause all of these problems and more. This can cause repairs that could have been avoided, the need for replacements, etc.

My daughter Natalie Permenter actually ordered the service. I'm at her house during the day to keep my grandson. I was very impressed by Emanuel, the plumber that cam. He was very professional and seemed to really care about his clients. Natalie tells me the lady in the office also showed professionalism and a genuine desire to help. Emanuel was disappointed that he couldn't get the job done on day one; but promised to come back the next day. True to his word he was here bright and early. I am so impressed to finally find a company that really cares about the consumer; not just the dollar.
