What Are Some Common Furnace Problems?
Heating systems are susceptible to breakdowns over time. Regular heating maintenance is a necessity to avoid unnecessary heating replacement costs. At Master Plumbing, Heating, & Cooling, our professional technicians recommend that you service your system at least once a year to keep it working correctly with optimal energy efficiency.
Several malfunctions can lead to emergency furnace repair or unnecessary furnace replacement if you ignore regular maintenance schedules. These include:
Leaving filters dirty or clogged.
Mechanical wear and tear due to age.
Malfunctioning thermostats.
Inadequate airflow and poor indoor air quality.
Carbon monoxide leaks from cracks in your furnace.
Note that gas and monoxide leaks are dangerous and usually manifest as a yellow flame. Evacuate your home immediately and call our technicians for emergency furnace repair services.
Expert Furnace Maintenance Tips for the Home
There are actions you can take to keep your furnace functioning optimally. As part of our furnace maintenance service, we complete many of these tasks but make sure to:
Replace furnace filters every 2-3 months to get rid of dust and other particles.
Carry out an annual inspection before the cold weather arrives.
Seal the furnace ducts to keep them for leaking air.
Install a carbon monoxide monitor.
Check the blower for obstructions, ensuring it is lubricated.
Inspect the furnace chamber for defects.
Clean the sensor and pilot with a wire brush and emery cloth.
Clean the burners using fresh water to remove dust and debris.
Check that the gas meter is clocked to monitor the rate of fuel usage.
Keep the area around the furnace clean and unobstructed for safety purposes.

I felt every detail was taken care of when they went out the door.
“Matt and Sean came to do my fall furnace check this afternoon and I want to say I was very pleased. They checked the airflow that I never had done before, cleaned the drain that was covered with corrosion materials, and replaced the humidifier filter with a fresh one I had. I felt every detail was taken care of when they went out the door.”

My entire experience with Master Heating, Plumbing, and Cooling was a 10 out of 10.
“Bill M was my service tech, I don’t know if he was a plumber but he certainly installed my sump pump with absolutely no problem. He explained to me in the beginning that my sump pump “could fail” but did not try and pressure sales me into anything. What he said made me comfortable in his knowledge and I trust him. I did not get the idea that he was just trying to make the company money by upselling to me either. So exceptional work from Bill M. I’d also like to say I had a couple interactions with the office staff as well. Taylor and Allie are top notch as well. My entire experience with Master Heating, Plumbing, and Cooling was a 10 out of 10. I will continue to use them in all my heating, plumbing and cooling issues that arise.”

I will definitely recommend this company!
“We had a water softener installed. I called Master Plumbing, Heating, and Cooling at about 8AM and we had a water softener installed by 12:15. Bill was our service technician. He was so very polite and respectful of our home! ( He wore shoe coverings) Bill explained everything extremely well. We bought their Green Club Membership, for a few dollars more, which will cover plumbing, heating, and cooling. Our systems are well over 25 years old, so over the long run this membership will save us a lot, Thank you Bill and Master Plumbing, Heating & Cooling.”

Would highly recommend!
“Bill M was my service technician. Very thorough and explained everything so I understood. Gave tips on future maintenance and did a great job of getting the new water heater installed and the old removed in a very timely manner as well as any cleanup.”

Lisa K.
Appreciate the professional service!
“John from Master Plumbing replaced my water heater after my old one failed. Despite it being after 4 pm, he was able to quickly pick up a replacement unit and install it the same evening, staying late to complete the task. He also went above and beyond to clean up the area around the old water heater, as well as my driveway after some of the water from the old water heater leaked out.”
