It’s never a good thing to have an appliance trip your circuit breaker, but having your furnace cause complications throughout the coldest Troy days is pretty high on Edington Heating & Cooling Inc’s list of “Bad Things.” If your furnace is tripping your circuit breaker, it could mean you need a furnace repair. Edington Heating & Cooling Inc can help you identify what the exact problem is, but here are a few reasons we usually see: overworked furnaces, short circuits and wiring problems. No matter what is going on with your furnace, if your circuit breaker is tripping, you need to call in a professional.
Overworked Furnaces
There are several reasons why furnaces can be overworked, but they’re usually preventable. Dirty air filters and blocked or closed vents are often responsible—and those problems can be easily identified and resolved during a preventive maintenance visit. If those are not responsible for your furnace trouble, Edington Heating & Cooling Inc can help you out by executing a furnace repair.
Short Circuits
If you have a short circuit in your furnace, it will trip the breaker instantly when you turn it on. If you believe you have a short circuit in your furnace, call Edington Heating & Cooling Inc right away for a furnace repair. Short circuits can be very dangerous, initiating fires or other serious damages.
Wiring Problems
Faulty installation or loose connections can cause your furnace to short circuit and trip your circuit breaker. No matter how they got that way, loose wires can cause your furnace to overheat and trip your circuit. Your Edington Heating & Cooling Inc professional can find and tighten any loose connections and make sure your furnace is operating safely.
