When you encounter problems with your home heating, you may find yourself racing for furnace repairs. This is especially true for homeowners in Covington and Northern Kentucky as we move closer into the winter months and there’s a significant need for a furnace to help get us through the colder weather.

There are different types of furnace repairs that are more common than others, including the following:

1. Faulty thermocouple:
This is the part of the furnace designated to control the flow of gas into the furnace. It is a safety valve connected to the ignition system. When it breaks, you won’t even be able to turn the heater on as the flow of gas won’t be sufficient.

2. Serious clogs:
If a gas line is clogged, it can impact how well the furnace heats your home. It essentially makes it impossible for the hot air to reach your home. You may be able to provide a regular clean, but if the problem is significant, it may require an entire replacement of your gas lines.

3. Defective or failed burners:
While this may not prevent your heater from working, it can decrease the amount of heat you get to your home, making the furnace work harder to get your home comfortable. You may need a simple cleaning to remove dirt or a replacement may be needed.

These problems can impact how well a heater works in the home. You don’t want to be stuck in the cold during the worst time of year, ensuring your home’s heating is up to par is important. Get in touch with a professional who can explain the problem you’re experiencing and offer some recommendations on repairs or services you need.
