Heating in Rockford: what's different
Heating work in Rockford follows the local climate. Heating is the main load in cold climates. Furnaces and boilers run for months, so ignition, venting, heat exchanger and carbon monoxide checks before winter are important.
A common Rockford pattern: aging furnaces. Many furnaces in mid-century Rockford homes are past 20 years old and should be checked for cracked heat exchangers, worn inducer motors and carbon monoxide leaks before winter. Another: converted gravity ducts. Older homes often have large, unbalanced ducts left from gravity furnaces, which makes modern equipment run unevenly and leaves upstairs rooms cold.
The heating services Rockford homeowners ask for most are furnace Repair, furnace Replacement, carbon Monoxide & Gas Safety. No heat, ignition failure, short cycling and pilot or flame sensor problems.
The City of Rockford Construction and Development Services issues mechanical permits, and ComEd and Nicor Gas have offered efficiency rebates. Book furnace service in September or October before the first cold snap.

Should I replace a 25-year-old furnace in Rockford?+

What should I do if my carbon monoxide alarm goes off?+
Get everyone outside to fresh air and call 911 or your gas utility's emergency line. Do not go back in until responders say it is safe, then have the heating system inspected.
Why does my furnace turn on and then shut off?+
A dirty flame sensor, a blocked vent or intake, a clogged filter or an overheating heat exchanger are common causes. The control board's blink code helps a tech narrow it down.
