Top 3 Reasons for Furnace Breakdowns

Are you having trouble with your furnace?

Do you want to replace your furnace?

Are you searching for the perfect contractor to do a furnace installation in Dexter?

At CMR Mechanical, our knowledgeable technicians have found through years of service and repair that the top 3 reasons for furnace breakdowns include:

Dirty filters

Is your furnace failing to keep your home warm? Air filters prevent dust and pollen from being circulated in your home. They keep allergens down and help your system run more efficiently. The dirtier the filter, the harder your furnace has to work to keep your home at your desired temperature. Air filters should be replaced every 3 months or at least every season to ensure optimum performance.

2. Ignition/Pilot light

Are you having ignition problems? They could result in problems with the functioning of your furnace, causing your home to feel colder than it should. You should have this looked at by a professional as soon as possible, who can tell you if there is a more serious underlying problem.

3. Improperly maintained fan motors, belts and bearings

Do you perform regular maintenance checkups on your furnace? If not, these items could be to blame. If you perform maintenance on a regular basis, you would likely be able to spot potential problems such as worn belts and bearings early on, as a result saving on costly future repairs.
