Let’s take a look at the most common repairs done to a furnace and what can be done to prevent needing one!
What is the Most Common Repair That Somebody Has to Have Done on Their Furnace?
The most common repairs done to a furnace are due to dirt. Dirt in the wrong places, blocked filters, dirty flame sets, dirty burners, etc. They all seem to crap up at the worst time.
So, what are the common repairs?
- Dirty wheel motor blower – it fails because of dirt. Motor blowers cool themselves but can’t do that when they’re covered in dirt.
- Dirty flame set – it causes the unit to misfire
- In air conditioning, dirty condenser coils will blow hot, taking out the compressor and causing further damage.
- Neglected wire connections that are not maintained for five years will get loosed and damaged.
Those are the common repairs, primarily due to a lack of preventive maintenance and dirt in the wrong place. Dirt from the filter causes most damage but critters such as chipmunks or mice have been known to like to build nests or eat the insulation off of wires in the condensing units outside which could cause lots of damage, but when checked regularly, they could be prevented.
