What Causes Gas Furnaces To Break?

A gas furnace is a complex heating system with many components. While they’re reliable, they will eventually need repair, maintenance, or replacement. Here are some common reasons your system may break:

• Clogged filters: Reduced airflow due to clogged filters can cause your furnace to overheat and shut down.
• Pilot light issues: If your ignition system isn’t working, your furnace will be unable to function.
• Broken blower motor: The blower motor in your furnace can break or have issues due to lack of lubrication or electrical issues.
• Gas valve issues: If your gas valve doesn’t allow the proper flow of gas to the burners, it will cause your furnace to malfunction.

Gas Furnace Repair vs. Replacement

Deciding between repairing and replacing your furnace can be complicated. At Yost & Campbell, we recommend Mt. Vernon homeowners repair if their system is still relatively new. Since the average lifespan of a gas furnace is 15 to 20 years, a replacement may be best if your system is close to the 15-year mark.

We also recommend repair if your system has been fairly reliable or the repair is minor. Ultimately, a repair is a good investment if your system is likely to provide many more years of reliable heat. If you’re constantly calling for service, need an expensive repair, or have an outdated and inefficient system, it may be best to replace it.

DIY Gas Furnace Repair

When your furnace malfunctions, it’s best to leave the repairs to a professional with the proper tools and training to ensure they’re done correctly and safely. However, there are some minor tasks homeowners can do to troubleshoot furnace issues.

If you’re having issues, check your thermostat to confirm the settings are correct. You can also reset the furnace and check for tripped circuit breakers. Finally, clean the pilot light to ensure it’s not obstructed, and ensure all registers are open for maximum airflow.
