Common Causes of Furnace Trouble

Our Halton furnace repair experts have years of experience fixing broken furnaces in Burlington, Halton Hills, and Milton. We’ve truly seen it all and find that most furnace issues often have similar causes.

Continue reading to discover a few of the most common causes for Halton furnace repair:

The Pilot Light is Out

If your pilot light has blown out, your furnace will not be able to complete the combustion process and heat your home. Two common reasons your pilot light might be out include:

• The thermocouple is malfunctioning. The thermocouple deactivates the gas in your furnace when the pilot light turns off. It acts like a safety check to prevent natural gas leaks. If the thermocouple can’t detect the flame in your furnace because it's broken or covered in dust, it will shut off your Burlington home’s natural gas supply and turn off the pilot light.

• The pilot light has blown out. Sometimes a breeze or draft in your home can blow out the pilot light, just like it would to a candle. If you think this is why your pilot light has extinguished, rather than trying to light it yourself, it’s much safer to call the Halton furnace repair professionals at Aire Serv. Our qualified service pros will not only reignite the pilot light but also confirm why it was extinguished.

The Furnace Won’t Turn On

Particularly during a chilly Ontario winter, it can be very frustrating if your furnace won’t turn on. There can be many reasons why your furnace won’t start, including:

• The circuit breaker is off. The first step in troubleshooting a furnace that won’t turn on—electric, gas, or propane—is to ensure all the HVAC switches on your circuit breaker panel are turned on.

• The air filter is dirty. Part of your furnace’s job is to keep the air in your home clean. It does this by filtering out dust and allergens from the air with an air filter. If you haven’t changed the air filter in your furnace recently, it could be clogged with dust and allergens. In some furnaces, a severely clogged air filter will trigger a safety feature that prevents the furnace from turning on.

• The thermostat is faulty. Sometimes your furnace might work fine, but your thermostat is the problem. Your thermostat might be broken, have issues with the electrical connection to your furnace, or needs to be reset. To check your thermostat, increase the temperature to 10 degrees hotter than usual. This should make the furnace kick in. If it doesn’t, then you likely have an issue with the thermostat.

• The pilot light has gone out. The pilot light is key to a properly functioning furnace. If it has gone out, then the furnace won’t turn on. Furnaces are designed this way to ensure natural gas does not accidentally release into your home—as without a pilot light, it would not be burned off.

• There is a lack of natural gas or oil supply. Your furnace relies on fuel to run. If you have a natural gas or propane furnace that won’t turn on, it may not be receiving enough fuel. If the furnace in your Milton home runs on natural gas and you also have a natural gas stove, you can turn on the stove to see if the issue is with the gas supply or with the furnace. If neither are working, you should contact your energy company right away.

The Furnace Won’t Turn Off

If your furnace won’t turn on, then it might be due to the following reasons:

• The thermostat is faulty. A malfunctioning thermostat may not only prevent your furnace from turning on, but it can also stop it from turning off. This may be due to an issue with the wiring or another electrical issue. Alternatively, your thermostat settings might be incorrect. Check to see if your thermostat has been set to the “on” position. This setting tells the furnace to run continuously. Switch your settings to “auto.” This setting tells the furnace to turn off once your house reaches the set temperature.

• The ductwork is leaking. Your ducts move hot air through your house. If there is a break in the ductwork and the hot air leaks out, then your home will not be heated efficiently. To try and get your home to the desired temperature, the furnace will keep running.

• The air filter is dirty. While some furnaces turn off once the air filter is dirty, a furnace without this safety feature may run continuously if it has a dirty air filter. Congested filters force the furnace to work too hard to heat your home. Since the furnace is less efficient, it has to run longer to get your home to the set temperature.

• The blower fan motor is broken. The blower fan moves hot air into the ductwork, where it moves throughout the rest of your home. The furnace may not stop running if there is a problem with the blower fan motor. Typically, a malfunctioning blower fan motor is caused by a broken fan limit switch.
