Expert Furnace Repair in Portland
Furnaces can run on natural gas, propane, heating oil, or electricity, depending on your specific needs. They can operate in one of two ways, depending on whether they run on electricity or fuel. Those that run on electricity have internal heating elements that warm the air. Furnaces that burn heating oil or propane produce heat through the combustion process to warm the air.
Here are some key signs of a malfunction.
Running non-stop
Insufficient hot air
Producing odd odor
Making weird noise
Rising utility bills
One of the more common components to malfunction in a furnace is the blower compartment. This compartment houses many parts, including the blower motor, pulley, fan, and fan belt. Over time, the fan belt can deteriorate from wear and tear. When any of these components fail, your furnace might still run, but no air will circulate throughout your ducting. Most furnaces will eventually shut off if they’re overheating because of an internal safety mechanism. Fortunately, we can replace the broken fan belt with a new one to restore functionality to your heating system.
Another typical furnace component that can fail is the flame sensor. There’s usually a safety mechanism that detects when the burner has a flame. If the flame sensor senses that the burner flame has gone out, the flame sensor will shut off the fuel supply to your furnace to prevent a buildup of toxic gas.
Unfortunately, the flame sensor can have a cover of debris that can block its photosensor eye from detecting a flame. This can cause your unit to shut off its fuel supply after the burner starts, even when a flame is present. Sometimes, you only need to clean the flame sensor to fix the issue. In other cases, the flame sensor itself may be faulty and need a replacement.
