Furnace Repair in Federal Heights

Common problems include failed igniters and flame sensors, weak blower motors, and limit switches that trip because the underfloor ducts are restricted or disconnected. On multi-section homes, the crossover duct that carries heat between halves can get crushed, torn by animals or disconnected, leaving one end of the home cold.

Roof jacks and vent connections can also loosen as the home settles. A loose connection can let combustion gases into the living space, which is one reason we run a carbon monoxide test on every call. We'll also make sure your CO detector is working.

The city grew from 391 residents in 1960 to 7,838 in 1980, so many site-built homes and apartment buildings date to that period. Most of the original furnaces have been replaced, but flues, gas lines and ductwork often haven't. We look closely at flue connectors and chimney liners, draft on atmospheric-vented furnaces, and combustion air in tight utility closets.

In older rentals, we also see filters that haven't been changed in a long time, which leads to overheated heat exchangers and cycling on the high limit. Blower wheels caked with dust are another common find, and cleaning one can restore airflow that the tenant may have assumed was simply how the system worked.

We start with the thermostat, power and filter, then run the furnace through a full heat cycle while checking the inducer, pressure switch, igniter, flame proving and blower. We measure temperature rise, check the gas pressure and test combustion and CO. Trucks are stocked with common parts, including for Trane, Lennox, Carrier, Goodman, Bryant and Rheem.

You get a flat-rate price before we start, there are no overtime fees, and the diagnostic is free when you approve the repair. Emergency service is available 24/7.

A furnace replacement in Federal Heights goes through the City Building Department, while electrical permits and inspections in the city are handled by the State of Colorado's Department of Regulatory Agencies. Manufactured homes also fall under the city's Manufactured Housing Installation Program for installations.

If you own rental property, the city's Rental Housing Inspection Program is a good reason to keep heating equipment in safe condition. When an older furnace has a cracked heat exchanger or several major failures, we'll explain why replacement may be the safer option and give you a flat-rate price for each choice.
