Common Furnace Problems We Fix
With over 10 years of HVAC service, we’ve handled many furnace problems. The following are a few, but not necessarily all, of the common furnace problems we fix.
- Short cycling: When a furnace short-cycles, it turns off and on more often than it should, and won’t fully heat your house. It can be caused by numerous issues, including, but not limited to, malfunctioning thermostats, clogged air filters, and oversized furnaces. Short cycling is a significant issue that can cause a range of problems, including reduced system efficiency, higher energy bills, and possible damage to system components.
- Issues with pilot light or ignition: Problems with pilot lights or ignitions may be caused by a dirty air filter, a clogged gas line, dirt buildup, or wear and tear, and can result in a home not being properly heated. A furnace should be shut off if there are issues with the pilot light or ignition, as a safety risk, such as a gas leak, could occur.
- Heat exchanger is cracked: If a heat exchanger cracks, shut off the furnace immediately, as this can cause a carbon monoxide leak. Along with the danger, a cracked heat exchanger reduces the furnace’s efficiency.
- Thermostat problems: Thermostat problems can prevent your furnace from working correctly and from heating a building as it should. There can be several causes, including loose wires, dirty sensors, or dead batteries. If the thermostat screen is blank, it may be time for new batteries.
- Blower motor issues: A furnace’s blower motor provides power to the fan that is in charge of moving the warm air from the furnace through the building’s ductwork and into the home. If a blower motor isn’t working correctly, it could result in poor airflow, or the blower may not turn on at all.
- Gas valve malfunctions: A malfunctioning gas valve can cause numerous problems, including safety hazards, inefficiency, and excessive noise. If a gas valve malfunction is suspected, the furnace should be shut off immediately. Please note that a malfunctioning gas valve can result in a gas leak.
- Blower belt is malfunctioning or frayed: If you hear a high-pitched squeal from your furnace while it runs, it may be a sign of a malfunctioning or frayed blower belt. If a blower belt is damaged, it may cause the furnace to overheat. You’ll want to shut off a furnace that has a damaged blower belt.
- Limit switch malfunctions: If a limit switch malfunctions, the furnace may continue to blow even when it shouldn’t. A furnace should be shut off in the event that the limit switch malfunctions, as this can cause a furnace to overheat and potentially cause other unsafe situations, like a fire or a gas leak, including carbon monoxide.
- Leaking furnace: A furnace may have a leak, or its condensation line may become backed up, causing the drain pan to overflow. If a furnace leaks, you’ll want to shut it off.

When to Repair vs. Replace Your Furnace
Depending on several factors, it may be more economical to either repair or replace your furnace if it is having trouble. If you’re in the Dallas area, the professionals at Climate Tech Air Conditioning & Heating can help you decide whether to repair or replace your furnace. The following are a few factors to keep in mind when deciding to have your furnace repaired or replaced. Please note that each situation is different.
Signs You May Want to Look into Replacing Your Furnace
- Furnace is old: If your furnace requires repairs, it is generally best to replace the furnace if it is over 15 years old. Please note that some furnaces may have a longer or shorter lifespan.
- Furnace repair costs become 30% or more of replacement costs: Furnace repair costs may become so great that it is more economical in the long run to replace it. Some repairs, particularly those around the 10th or 15th year you’ve had your furnace, aren’t worth the investment, unless you cannot afford a new furnace at that time. Your furnace’s warranty coverage can also affect the cost of repairs or replacement. You’ll also want to account for potential increases in efficiency of a new unit and any rebates.
- Repairs become more serious and frequent: If your furnace is newer, but frequently requires extensive repairs, you may want to look into replacing it.
Signs you May Want to have Your Furnace Repaired
- Furnace is under warranty: If your furnace is under warranty and it is safe to do so, you may want to have your furnace repaired.
- Minor Repairs are Needed: If the needed furnace repairs are relatively minor and the furnace is on the newer side, it is best to have it repaired.
- Furnace is under 10 years old: If your furnace is under 10 years old, you may want to have it repaired.
Our Process for Diagnosing Heating Issues
While each job is different, the following is an example of how we may diagnose heating issues. Please note that, depending on the issue you are experiencing, we may not conduct our diagnosis this way.
- Conducting a thorough inspection: We’ll generally conduct a thorough inspection of your heating system. This inspection usually starts by checking the system’s exterior for visible issues, such as wear, cracks, or leaks. We also inspect the thermostat settings, ensure the air filters are clean, and check the condition of the vents and ducts.
- Analyzing the system’s energy consumption: Analyzing your heating system’s energy consumption is useful, not only for spotting inefficiencies but also for detecting underlying issues. By finding sources of energy loss, we can help you potentially save money on your energy bill.
- Utilizing high-tech diagnostic tools: High-tech diagnostic tools, such as thermal imaging, are vital tools for our heating inspections. With technology, we can determine system pressure, component temperatures, and airflow, as well as find hidden leaks and blockages using thermal imaging.
