Common Furnace Problems

New York and New Jersey residents know how crucial it is to have a reliable furnace when the winter chill sets in. With Reliable Heating & Cooling, you'll have a crew of professional technicians, with expertise you can trust to resolve your HVAC problem quickly and reliably to restore your comfort. How do you know when to schedule furnace repairs, though? As a local company, we care about your well-being. Today, let's discuss common furnace problems to take the mystery out of knowing when to pick up the phone and contact us for your HVAC needs!


Faulty Thermostat

A broken thermostat is one of the most common furnace problems. If there is a malfunction in the thermostat, it can cause the blower fan to run continuously due to the faulty signal. There might be an electrical issue that causes your thermostat to register an inaccurate indoor temperature.


When you contact us, our team will thoroughly inspect your furnace to diagnose the problem. Once we've identified the issue, we'll discuss the necessary repairs with you and provide a transparent quote. We strive to be your go-to furnace repair company and understand how crucial a working furnace is to your comfort.


Strange Sounds

Screeching, rumbling, and clicking noises are the most common sounds you will hear if your furnace isn't functioning correctly. Strange sounds coming from your heating system indicate that you need to contact a professional HVAC company for repairs. At Reliable Heating & Cooling, our qualified heating repair professionals with extensive training, experience, and skills are ready to resolve the issue quickly. We strive to provide every customer with the highest quality of service, giving you the confidence that your heating system is in good hands.


Frequent Cycling On and Off

If your furnace kicks on again right after it completes a cycle, this red flag shouldn't be ignored. The problem could be caused by low airflow due to dirty or clogged air filters. The air vents might also have a blockage that needs to be removed. Another common cause for frequent cycling is a dirty flame sensor. Allowing the problem to persist could result in further damage to your heating system and costly repair bills.


Lack of Warmth

Is your furnace turning on but not heating your home thoroughly? If so, the issue might be caused by cracked tubes. Your furnace depends on a heat exchanger with heated tubes to create hot air. Without proper maintenance, these tubes can quickly become damaged, preventing your heating system from warming the air in your home.
