It’s never a good thing to have an appliance trip your circuit breaker, but having your furnace cause problems during the coldest Crystal and Twin Cities days is pretty high on GV Heating & Air’s list of “Bad Things.” If your furnace is tripping your circuit breaker, you may need a furnace repair. GV Heating & Air can help you determine what the exact problem is, but here are some reasons we typically see: overworked furnaces, short circuits and wiring problems. It doesn’t 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 a variety of explanations as to why your furnace becomes overworked, but they’re generally preventable. Dirty air filters and blocked or closed vents are often the culprit—and those problems can be easily identified and remedied during a preventive maintenance visit. If that’s not the cause of your furnace trouble, GV Heating & Air 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 promptly when you turn it on. If you believe you have a short circuit in your furnace, call GV Heating & Air right away for a furnace repair. Short circuits can be very risky, 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. It doesn’t matter how they got that way, loose wires can cause your furnace to overheat and trip your circuit. Your GV Heating & Air professional can find and tighten any loose connections and ensure your furnace is functioning safely.
