Gas Furnace Problems We Diagnose and Repair in Berks County, PA
Most no-heat calls trace back to a handful of parts in the ignition and safety sequence. Our gas furnace technicians test each one, so you pay for the part that actually failed. If you’ve tried to fix gas furnace problems by changing the filter or resetting the breaker and it still won’t fire, call us.
- Igniter cracked or worn out: Most modern gas furnaces use a hot surface igniter that glows to light the burners. When it cracks, the furnace tries to start, fails and locks out. We test it and replace it if needed.
- Dirty or failed flame sensor: The burners light, then shut off seconds later because the sensor can’t confirm a flame. Cleaning or replacing it is one of the most common gas furnace repairs.
- Inducer motor or pressure switch problems: The inducer fan clears exhaust from the furnace before the burners light. A failing motor, blocked vent or stuck pressure switch stops the startup.
- Gas valve not opening: If the igniter glows but no gas flows, the gas valve or its wiring may have failed. We check gas pressure and the valve before replacing anything. Any furnace gas repair should be done by a qualified technician, not as a DIY project.
- Limit switch shutting off the heat: A clogged filter, closed vents or a weak blower lets the furnace overheat, so the limit switch shuts the burners off. We find and fix the airflow problem behind it.
- Clogged condensate drain: High-efficiency furnaces produce water as they run. A plugged trap or drain line can trip a safety switch or leak onto the floor.
- Blocked or damaged venting: PVC vent pipes can be blocked by snow, ice, leaves or nests, and older metal flue pipes can rust or separate. Either can shut the furnace down or let exhaust into the home.
- Cracked heat exchanger: A crack can let carbon monoxide into your home’s air. If we find one, we shut the furnace down, show you what we found and go over your options.
We repair and replace gas valves, hot surface igniters, flame sensors, pilot assemblies and thermocouples on older units, inducer motors, pressure switches, limit switches, blower motors, capacitors and control boards. We explain what failed in plain terms and give you the price before any repair.
Smell gas near your furnace? Leave the home, then call your gas utility or 911 from outside. Do not use switches or a phone inside, and do not try to relight the furnace. Once it is cleared, call us at 484-332-3573 for an inspection.
