It’s never a good thing to have an appliance trip your circuit breaker, but having your furnace cause difficulties through the coldest Carpentersville days is pretty high on Controlled Comfort HVAC Inc’s list of “Bad Things.” If your furnace is tripping your circuit breaker, there is a chance you need a furnace repair. Controlled Comfort HVAC Inc can help you identify what the exact problem is, but here are examples of reasons we commonly see: overworked furnaces, short circuits and wiring problems. It doesn’t matter what is taking place with your furnace, if your circuit breaker is tripping, you need to call in a professional.
Overworked Furnaces
There are a variety of explanations as to why your furnace becomes overworked, but they’re typically preventable. Dirty air filters and blocked or closed vents are often the culprit—and those problems can be easily identified and fixed during a preventive maintenance visit. If that isn’t the reason for your furnace trouble, Controlled Comfort HVAC Inc can help you out by doing a furnace repair.
Short Circuits
If you have a short circuit in your furnace, it will trip the breaker promptly when you turn it on. If you think you have a short circuit in your furnace, call Controlled Comfort HVAC Inc right away for a furnace repair. Short circuits can be very risky, causing fires or other serious damages.
Wiring Problems
Faulty installation or loose connections can cause your furnace to short circuit and trip your circuit breaker. It doesn’t matter how they got that way, loose wires can force your furnace to overheat and trip your circuit. Your Controlled Comfort HVAC Inc professional can find and tighten any loose connections and make sure your furnace is operating safely.
