It’s never a good thing to have an appliance trip your circuit breaker, but having your furnace cause difficulties throughout the coldest Front Royal days is pretty high on Dave's Diversified Services’s list of “Bad Things.” If your furnace is tripping your circuit breaker, there is a chance you need a furnace repair. Dave's Diversified Services can help you find out what the exact problem is, but here are some reasons we typically see: overworked furnaces, short circuits and wiring problems. No matter what is happening with your furnace, if your circuit breaker is tripping, you need to call in a professional.
Overworked Furnaces
Furnaces become overworked for a number of reasons, but they’re generally preventable. Dirty air filters and blocked or closed vents are often responsible—and those problems can be easily identified and remedied during a preventive maintenance visit. If that’s not the cause of your furnace trouble, Dave's Diversified Services can help you out by performing 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 think you have a short circuit in your furnace, call Dave's Diversified Services right away for a furnace repair. Short circuits can be very dangerous, resulting in fires or other serious damages.
Wiring Problems
Faulty installation or loose connections can cause your furnace to short circuit and trip your circuit breaker. No matter how they got that way, loose wires can force your furnace to overheat and trip your circuit. Your Dave's Diversified Services expert can find and tighten any loose connections and make sure your furnace is operating safely.
