Furnace Won't Turn On?
Common Problems and Solutions for Milwaukee Homeowners:

Winter is finally here; this is probably the last thing you want to happen to your furnace - it breaks down. It leaves you shivering in the freezing cold and with an unscheduled repair bill. However, panic is not needed. Let's take a look at some of the most common problems with your furnace and their troubleshooting.


Furnace Not Turning On:
It is a common problem and can be caused by several possible factors, such as:

  1. Blown Fuse or Tripped Circuit Breaker:
    • Switch off your main switch, look for the electrical panel, and check if the fuse has blown or the circuit breaker has tripped.
  2. Faulty thermostat:
    • Ensure that the thermostat is properly set. In case it is faulty, then this can also delay the furnace ignition.
  3. Pilot light:
    • If your furnace has a pilot light, then it should be lit. If it is out, then relight it.
  4. Possible problem with Ignition System:
    1. In case you have an electrically ignited furnace, it might need adjusting. This could be due to a faulty problem and is a more complicated issue that requires professional attention.
  5. Dirty Air Filter:
    1. Dirty air filters may cause restricted airflow and often a dirty air filter causes poor furnace heating.
  6. Components not Properly Placed:
    1. Each component in the furnace ought to be fit snuggly in place. Otherwise, parts often produce noise.
  7. Problem with Heat Exchanger:
    1. The heat exchanger in the furnace is part of it and if it gets cracked or damaged, that may make a lot of noise, also it might cause leaks of dangerous gases.
  8. Refrigerant Leak:
    1. When there is a refrigerant leak, water will start running down due to the condensation hence leaking out.
  9. Furnace Keeps Flipping On and Off: Probably indicates several issues
    1. Dirty Filter: A dirty air filter may restrict air flow, and the furnace has to cycle more often than normal.
  10. Clogged Drain Line:
    1. The drain line is what absorbs condensation from the furnace. When it gets blocked, water can leak from it.
