Troubleshooting a Furnace Failure
A furnace that refuses to turn on can be a major inconvenience, especially when temperatures plummet. Understanding the potential causes of this heating hiccup can help homeowners take the right steps toward restoring warmth and comfort.
Common culprits behind a furnace that won’t start include:
- Thermostat troubles: A malfunctioning thermostat can fail to signal the furnace to turn on. Check the thermostat settings and batteries to ensure it’s communicating correctly.
- Power problems: A tripped circuit breaker or a blown fuse can cut off power to the furnace. Inspect the electrical panel and reset the breaker or replace the fuse if necessary.
- Safety switch issues: Furnaces have safety switches that can shut off the system if they detect a problem, such as a flame rollout or a blocked vent. If a safety switch is tripped, it needs to be reset by a qualified technician.
- Ignitor or pilot light failure: In older furnaces, a faulty ignitor or a pilot light that has gone out can prevent the furnace from igniting. These components may need to be cleaned, repaired, or replaced.
- Clogged air filter: A severely clogged air filter can restrict airflow and cause the furnace to overheat and shut down. Replacing the air filter regularly can prevent this issue.
If a homeowner is lucky, the solution might be as simple as flipping a breaker or swapping out a dirty air filter. However, if the issue is more complex, like a faulty ignitor or a tripped safety switch, it’s best to call in the pros. At Air Doc's, our technicians are experts at troubleshooting furnace failures. We arrive promptly, armed with the latest diagnostic tools and a wealth of experience, to get to the bottom of heating woes.

How to Improve a Heating System’s Energy Efficiency
Keeping a home warm and cozy throughout the winter shouldn’t mean sacrificing energy efficiency or breaking the bank. Fortunately, homeowners can take several proactive steps to optimize their heating systems and minimize energy waste. Start with a comprehensive inspection of a home’s insulation and sealing. Air leaks around windows, doors, and other openings can allow precious heat to escape, forcing a heating system to work harder. Proper insulation in walls, attics, and crawl spaces also plays a crucial role in preventing heat loss and maintaining a consistent indoor temperature.
Regular maintenance of a heating system is another key factor in maximizing efficiency. Scheduling annual tune-ups with a qualified technician ensures that a system is operating at peak performance. During a maintenance visit, a technician will inspect, clean, and adjust components, identifying potential issues before they escalate into costly repairs. Upgrading to a programmable or smart thermostat can also make a significant difference. These intelligent devices allow homeowners to customize heating schedules based on their daily routines and preferences, optimizing energy usage and minimizing waste.

What determines if I need to replace rather than repair my unit?
It may be better and more economical to replace your existing system if your unit…
- Is seven years or older
- Requires frequent repairs or stops working
- Fails to heat or cool areas of your home
- Runs excessively
- Is constantly turning on and off
- Produces high utility bills
Call Air Doc’s, Inc. if you are experiencing one or more of these symptoms immediately.

How can I reduce my energy costs?Install a programmable thermostat which enables you to control your home’s temperature when you are out of the house or asleep. Perform an annually scheduled maintenance and replace the air filters frequently. The best thing you can do is to upgrade to a high-efficiency system.
-
How do I know if I need a new heating and cooling system?Air Doc’s, Inc. sends an HVAC specialist to your home for a free consultation to examine your home inside and out to determine the right system for your needs. Many homeowners assume that a new HVAC system will solve their problems and sometimes that is the case. However, frequently there are underlying issues that need to be addressed simultaneously to achieve the kinds of efficiencies possible with a new unit.
-
Do I really have to change my air filters often?Yes, changing your air filter at least once every six months will not only help you save on your monthly bills, but will also help extend the life of your system. Changing your filter every three months is even better.
