FAQ

Furnace Repair questions

Do you offer furnace Repair everywhere in Connecticut?+

Should I convert from oil to a heat pump in Connecticut?+

Many homeowners do, often keeping the oil boiler as backup at first. Incentives may help with the cost.

Why does my furnace turn on then off right away?+

The most common reason is a dirty flame sensor, which can't prove the flame so the board shuts the gas off. Other causes are a weak pressure switch or a blocked vent.

Is a cracked heat exchanger dangerous?+

It can be, because it may let combustion gases mix with house air. A tech will usually shut the furnace off and red-tag it until it is repaired or replaced.
