Sparks
Furnace Repair in Sparks: what's different
Furnace repair in Sparks peaks on the first hard freezes in October and November and during January cold snaps. Many homes in Spanish Springs, Wingfield Springs and Kiley Ranch have furnaces in garages or attics with PVC venting, and their condensate lines can freeze where they exit outdoors, which shuts the furnace down on a pressure switch fault.
NV Energy supplies natural gas in the Reno-Sparks area. If you smell gas, leave the house and call from outside before calling for repair. Every furnace repair should end with a carbon monoxide check, since Sparks homes keep windows closed for months in winter.
Sparks climate
Sparks shares Reno's cold winter nights and inversions. Spanish Springs is breezier and can be dustier in spring. Summer afternoons reach the 90s, so central AC or a heat pump still works hard from late June through August, and wildfire smoke can hang in the Truckee Meadows for days at a time.

FAQ
Furnace Repair questions
My Sparks furnace shows a pressure switch error. What does that mean?+
The furnace isn't proving draft. Common causes are a frozen or clogged condensate drain, a blocked vent or intake, or a failing inducer motor.
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.
