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.”

I would 100% recommend Master Plumbing Heating and Cooling
“I called in the AM regarding our central air not working and spoke with Taylor who was so friendly and let me know they had an appointment in the afternoon. Maddie then kept in contact with me as to when Madison & Jordan would arrive. Madison and Jordan were very friendly and got to work right away and had the unit working quickly. Everything went smoothly and I cant say enough about every person I was in contact with. Such a great experience! Thank you all so much!”
