What Our Furnace Diagnosis Covers
A furnace has a lot of safety steps between the thermostat and the flame. Our tech works through each one to find where the sequence stops.
- Error code and filter: The blink code on the control board is read, and the filter and airflow are checked.
- Ignition parts: The igniter and flame sensor are tested, since they cause many no heat calls.
- Draft and switches: The inducer motor, pressure switch and limit switch are checked for proper operation.
- Gas and blower: Gas pressure and the blower motor are tested, and the venting is inspected.
- Carbon monoxide reading: We take a reading at the furnace before leaving.
Why Attic Furnaces Wear Out in Antelope
Local homes put a furnace through hard conditions long before winter starts. These are the factors behind most repair calls.
- Attic heat: Furnaces in attics can sit at 130 F or more all summer, which wears wiring, boards and igniters.
- AC season dust: Dust builds on the flame sensor over the summer and causes trouble the first time the heat runs.
- Original equipment: Many 1990s homes in ZIP 95843 still run the first furnace that was installed.

Furnace Problems We Fix Most
These failures account for most of our winter calls. Each one has a clear pattern and a straightforward fix.
Furnace Clicking but Not Igniting
Clicking without a flame usually means a worn igniter or a gas valve that is not opening. Some furnaces try three times, then lock out for about an hour, so call us with the blink code.
Furnace Keeps Shutting Off
When the furnace lights and then shuts off, a dirty flame sensor is the most common cause. Furnace flame sensor cleaning is a quick, low cost fix that restores steady heat in most cases.
Cold Air From the Vents
If the blower runs but the air is cold, the burners may be shutting off, the limit switch may be tripping or the gas valve may be failing. We trace which one it is.
Noisy Inducer and Pressure Switch Codes
A loud or rattling inducer motor, or a pressure switch code, points to a draft problem. We test the motor, the switch and the vent path before recommending a repair.
Blower That Will Not Run
Heat that does not reach the rooms often comes from a failed blower motor or capacitor. We test both, since a weak capacitor can look like a dead motor.
Short Cycling and Water Around a 90 Percent Furnace
A clogged filter can make a furnace short cycle. Water around a high efficiency furnace points to a condensate drain problem, and we clear it and test the safety switch.
