It’s not a good thing when one your appliances is tripping your circuit breaker, but having your furnace cause difficulties throughout the coldest Pacheco days is pretty high on Clean Air HVAC’s list of “Bad Things.” If your furnace is tripping your circuit breaker, you may need a furnace repair. Clean Air HVAC can help you determine what the exact problem is, but here are some reasons we typically see: overworked furnaces, short circuits and wiring problems. No matter what is taking place with your furnace, if your circuit breaker is tripping, you need to call in a professional.
Overworked Furnaces
There are several reasons why furnaces can be overworked, but they’re usually preventable. Dirty air filters and blocked or closed vents are often to blame—and those problems can be easily identified and fixed during a preventive maintenance visit. If those are not responsible for your furnace trouble, Clean Air HVAC can help you out by doing a furnace repair.
Short Circuits
If you have a short circuit in your furnace, it will trip the breaker immediately when you turn it on. If you believe you have a short circuit in your furnace, call Clean Air HVAC right away for a furnace repair. Short circuits can be very hazardous, causing fires or other serious damages.
Wiring Problems
Faulty installation or loose connections can cause your furnace to short circuit and trip your circuit breaker. Regardless of how they got that way, loose wires can cause your furnace to overheat and trip your circuit. Your Clean Air HVAC expert can find and tighten any loose connections and make sure your furnace is operating safely.
