  • Visible Wear and Tear: Rust, cracks, or other visible damage on your furnace should raise eyebrows.

If you’re experiencing any of these red flags, it’s time to call in the pros. A well-timed fix can save you from a full-blown furnace fiasco.

To prevent furnace breakdowns:

  1. Schedule annual professional maintenance.
  2. Replace or clean the air filters regularly.
  3. Keep vents and registers unobstructed.
  4. Ensure the pilot light or ignition system is functioning.
  5. Clean the blower and burner components.
  6. Check the thermostat settings for accuracy.
  7. Address unusual noises or issues immediately.
  8. Keep the area around the furnace clear of debris.
  9. Test the carbon monoxide detector near the furnace.
  10. Upgrade to a programmable thermostat for better efficiency.

It is not safe to run your furnace if the pilot light is out. The pilot light serves as the ignition source for the furnace, and without it, the furnace will not function properly. If the pilot light has gone out, it may indicate a problem with the furnace, such as a dirty pilot light, a faulty thermocouple, or a gas supply issue.

Here’s what you should do:

  1. Turn off the furnace and the gas supply to avoid any gas buildup.
  2. Wait at least 5 minutes before trying to relight the pilot light to ensure any gas has dissipated.
  3. Follow the manufacturer’s instructions for safely relighting the pilot light.
  4. If the pilot light doesn’t stay lit or the issue persists, contact a professional technician to diagnose and repair the problem.

For safety, avoid using the furnace until the issue is resolved to prevent potential risks, like gas leaks or fire hazards.

Yes, an energy-efficient furnace can qualify for tax credits and rebates in certain situations. These incentives are typically offered by the federal government, state or local governments, utility companies, and sometimes manufacturers. Here’s how they generally work:

Federal Tax Credits: The IRS offers tax credits for the installation of high-efficiency furnaces that meet specific efficiency standards, like those with an AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) rating of 95% or higher. This may apply to gas, oil, or propane furnaces. The credit can often cover a portion of the installation costs.

State and Local Rebates: Many states, municipalities, and utility companies offer rebates for upgrading to energy-efficient heating systems. These rebates may vary depending on your location and the furnace’s energy efficiency rating.

Utility Company Incentives: Some utility providers offer rebates for energy-efficient appliances, including furnaces, as part of their energy conservation programs. You may be able to receive a rebate for installing a furnace that exceeds a certain efficiency threshold.

Manufacturer Incentives: Some furnace manufacturers offer rebates or discounts when you purchase their high-efficiency models.

Be sure to check with your local utility company, state energy office, or tax advisor to see if your new furnace qualifies for any credits or rebates. Keep records of your purchase and installation, as you may need these for your tax filing or rebate application. Our team can also help you select a furnace that maximizes your rebates, which can significantly offset the installation cost. 

The best type of filter for your furnace depends on your needs and the model of your furnace. However, the following factors will help you choose the right one:

  1. MERV Rating (Minimum Efficiency Reporting Value):
    The MERV rating measures the filter’s ability to capture particles.

    • MERV 1-4: Basic filters that capture larger particles like dust and debris. These are suitable for less frequent maintenance needs.
    • MERV 5-8: Mid-range filters that capture smaller particles, like pollen, mold spores, and pet dander. A good choice for standard homes.
    • MERV 9-12: Higher efficiency filters for homes with allergy sufferers or pets, capturing even smaller particles like dust mites and fine dust.
    • MERV 13-16: High-efficiency filters ideal for households needing superior air quality (e.g., asthma or allergy sufferers), capturing very fine particles such as bacteria and tobacco smoke.
  2. Filter Type:

    • Fiberglass Filters: Affordable and suitable for basic filtration needs, but not the best at trapping smaller particles.
    • Pleated Filters: A popular choice, offering better filtration and efficiency than fiberglass filters. Pleated filters come in various MERV ratings, so you can select based on your needs.
    • HEPA Filters: The highest level of filtration, typically used in homes with severe allergies. They are often compatible with some HVAC systems but may require professional installation due to higher airflow resistance.
    • Electrostatic Filters: These filters use static electricity to attract dust and particles and can be washable and reusable. They provide good filtration and are more eco-friendly.
  3. Filter Size and Fit:
    Make sure the filter is the correct size for your furnace. A filter that’s too small or doesn’t fit properly won’t effectively trap contaminants. Always check your furnace’s manual for the recommended size.

Key Considerations:

  • If you have allergies or pets, a pleated filter with a MERV rating of 8-12 is a good choice.
  • If you want maximum air quality, go for a HEPA or high-MERV pleated filter.
  • Remember to replace or clean your filters regularly (every 1-3 months, depending on the type) to maintain furnace efficiency and air quality.

Always consult with your HVAC professional to ensure compatibility and optimal performance for your furnace model.

If your furnace is turning on and off frequently, a condition known as short cycling, it can be caused by several issues. Common causes include:

  1. Dirty or Clogged Air Filter: A clogged filter restricts airflow, causing the furnace to overheat and shut off prematurely. Changing or cleaning the air filter can often resolve this issue.

  2. Thermostat Issues: A faulty thermostat may be reading the temperature incorrectly, signaling the furnace to turn on and off unnecessarily. This could be due to incorrect placement, a wiring issue, or a malfunctioning component.

  3. Overheating: If the furnace overheats, the built-in limit switch will shut it off as a safety measure. Overheating can be caused by:

    • Dirty burner components or a clogged heat exchanger.
    • Poor airflow from a dirty air filter or blocked vents.
    • A malfunctioning blower fan that doesn’t circulate air properly.
  4. Improper Furnace Size: If the furnace is too large for your home, it will heat the space too quickly and shut off before completing a full heating cycle. The system will then turn on again shortly after.

  5. Faulty Flame Sensor: The flame sensor detects whether the furnace’s burner is producing a flame. If it’s dirty or malfunctioning, it may incorrectly signal that the flame is out, causing the furnace to turn off.

  6. Gas Supply Issues: A gas valve or pressure problem can cause intermittent fuel delivery, leading to short cycling.

  7. Faulty Control Board: A malfunctioning control board can send improper signals to the furnace components, causing it to turn off and on repeatedly.

  8. Ductwork Issues: Leaks or blockages in the ductwork can disrupt airflow, leading to improper furnace operation.

What You Can Do:

  • Replace or clean the air filter regularly.
  • Check the thermostat settings or consider replacing an outdated unit.
  • Inspect the vents for any blockages or obstructions.
  • Schedule a professional inspection to clean the furnace and check for issues with the flame sensor, control board, or gas supply.

“Wow in a pinch these guys really come through. Ryan came out and then within four days my unit was completed. He suggested a money savings option that we couldn’t be more pleased with. Irish Heating and Air was 50% less then the bigger companies. In the past we use the bigger companies by far this has been the best experience ever. It’s a 109 degrees outside and my family is wearing blankets to sit on the couch. Do yourself a favor and check them out.”
