Signs of a Furnace Emergency

Some furnace problems can wait for a scheduled visit. Others can’t.

If you smell gas, leave your home and call your gas company or 911 from outside. If anyone feels dizzy, sick or gets a headache while the furnace runs, get everyone into fresh air and call 911. These can be signs of carbon monoxide, which a cracked heat exchanger can leak into your home. Once everyone is safe, our technicians can find and fix the problem.

For after-hours emergencies, call (208) 313-4113.

Common Furnace Problems

Yearly furnace maintenance can catch many common problems early. Multiple problems could lead to furnace repair. Common furnace problems include:

FURNACE DOESN'T TURN ON

If your furnace does not turn on, the problem could be:

- The power switch is turned off
- A tripped breaker
- The furnace is overheating
- An airflow blockage

FURNACE BLOWS COLD AIR

A furnace that blows cold air could:

- Be compromised by a dirty air filter
- Have a pilot light failure
- Be overheating

FURNACE TURNS ON/OFF INTERMITTENTLY

Causes of a furnace turning on and off include:

- An air filter clog
- Vents being blocked
- A thermostat that is malfunctioning

FURNACE DOESN'T PRODUCE ADEQUATE HEAT

In some cases, a furnace may produce heat, but not adequately enough. This may result from:

- An unclean filter
- Vent blockage
- A broken blower motor
- Leaky ducts

PILOT LIGHT DOESN'T IGNITE

Reasons for a pilot light not to ignite include:

- A dirty flame sensor
- An issue with the igniter
- A problem with the gas supply

FAN RUNS CONTINUOUSLY

A continuously running fan could be caused by:

- A limit switch issue
- Malfunctioning wiring

Calling In an Expert for Heating Repair

Checking the thermostat and furnace filter is a common first step when facing heating issues. A thermostat can be the source of heating issues, but is rarely the cause. A more common problem is a dirty filter.

If you have replaced your furnace filter, turned the system off and back on, and still have heating issues, call a professional from First Call Jewel. We can solve furnace problems to help you stay warm.

What to Expect During Your Repair Visit

Your furnace repair is handled by a heating specialist, not a “jack of all trades.” We arrive in a branded First Call Jewel van and uniform, and every technician is background-checked and drug-tested. Our technicians will inspect your furnace, find the problem and, based on that inspection, make appropriate suggestions. If a repair no longer makes sense, our technicians can talk you through your options for a new furnace.

Great Work—Really excellent work; professional, courteous, and conscientious.
