Gas furnaces operate on natural gas or propane as their energy source to heat your enclosed space in Houston. Many Houston citizens use these gas furnaces in winter but forget to maintain them and search frantically for Houston air conditioning repair contractor in case of emergencies. Here are four common issues that typically occur with your older units of gas furnaces…

Frequent Switching ON and OFF

If your furnace frequently switches on and off before production of the desired amount of heat there are problems like clogged filter, clogged blower, or an overly dry motor. In first case, your HVAC technician will clean or replace filter; in second case it will be cleaning of blower and last case it will be the lubrication of the motor by placing oil.

No production of Heat

If this is your issue then causes can be a closed control valve, damaged thermostat, a tripped circuit or a faulty pilot light. While you could correct these problems yourself, it’s best to call professional gas furnaces repair service.

Failure to produce sufficient Heat

If your furnace has been producing less heat, it could be because of the clogging of blower, loosening of the blower belt or dirty burner or filter. These problems can also occur in unison. As with a furnace that produces no heat, a furnace that produces insufficient heat resulting from one of the above issues can usually be fixed on the same day at minimal cost.

Problem with Pilot Light

When your pilot light is having problems, the possible reasons can be a clogged pilot opening or reduced gas flow rate due to a poorly set gas valve or a faulty thermocouple. In each case, the solution requires light work and can be fixed at minimal cost.
