Common Furnace Problems We Repair
Pilot light and ignition system failures represent some of the most frequent issues we encounter during service calls throughout Colorado Springs, Cimarron Hills, Briargate, Northgate, Stratmoor, CO, and the greater Colorado area. Modern furnaces typically use electronic ignition systems that can fail due to worn components, electrical issues, or accumulated debris. When these systems malfunction, your furnace may cycle repeatedly without producing heat, or fail to start entirely. Our technicians clean, adjust, and replace ignition components as needed, restoring reliable operation while implementing preventive measures to extend component life.
Blower motor problems significantly impact heating efficiency and comfort levels throughout your home. Signs of blower motor issues include weak airflow, unusual noises during operation, or complete failure to circulate air. We diagnose motor problems using specialized testing equipment that measures electrical draw, capacitor function, and bearing condition. Whether your system requires motor lubrication, capacitor replacement, or complete motor replacement, we provide honest assessments and free estimates for all repair work. As a Carrier Factory Authorized Dealer, we have access to genuine replacement parts that ensure optimal compatibility and performance.
Professional Diagnostic Process
Our diagnostic approach begins with a thorough visual inspection and operational testing of your entire heating system. We examine the furnace cabinet for signs of wear, corrosion, or damage while checking electrical connections, gas lines, and ventilation systems for safety and compliance with current codes. Using combustion analyzers and digital multimeters, we measure system efficiency, carbon monoxide levels, and electrical performance to pinpoint problems accurately.
Temperature rise testing across the heat exchanger helps us identify potential cracks or failures that could compromise safety and efficiency. We also evaluate static pressure throughout your ductwork system, as improper airflow can cause premature component failure and reduced heating capacity. This comprehensive diagnostic process ensures we identify all issues affecting your furnace performance, allowing us to provide complete solutions rather than temporary fixes. Our commitment to doing heating and cooling services done right means we take time to explain our findings clearly, helping you make informed decisions about necessary repairs.
