Why You Should Not Delay Your Furnace Repair
Addressing furnace issues quickly is essential for several reasons:
- Avoiding dangerous conditions: Serious problems with a gas furnace, such as a leaking flue or a cracked heat exchanger, can release combustion products like carbon monoxide into your home. Similarly, faulty electric furnaces can pose a risk of fire.
- Preventing costly repairs: Minor issues, such as a worn-out belt, can escalate into major problems if left unaddressed, potentially damaging critical components like the blower motor or fan.
- Staying prepared for sudden cold snaps: Michigan winters are unpredictable, and a malfunctioning furnace can leave your home vulnerable to extreme cold.
- Extending system life span: Regular and prompt repairs help prolong the life of your furnace, maximizing your investment and reducing the need for premature replacements.
A Guide to Common Furnace Issues
Understanding common furnace problems can help you recognize when professional repair services are needed. At Randazzo Heating, Cooling, and Electrical, we receive countless calls for furnace repairs each year, and here are some of the most common issues we encounter:
- Failure to start: This can be caused by a tripped circuit breaker, a faulty pilot light or igniter or a defective control board or thermostat.
- The furnace turns on and off quickly: If your furnace does not run for more than a minute, the flame sensor may be dirty or faulty, or the thermocouple may have failed on older models.
- Low heat output or poor airflow: This problem can often be as simple as a clogged air filter or a dirty blower fan. Other causes include blocked vents, dirty burners, or a failed heating element.
- Cool air from the vents: If the furnace’s limit switch has failed or is set improperly, it may turn the fan on before the burners or heating element has started working, blowing cool air into your home.
- The fan runs constantly: The fan should turn on and off to help heat your home more efficiently and protect the heat exchanger from damage. If the fan limiter is faulty, the fan may run constantly.
Our expert technicians are experienced at diagnosing and repairing these common furnace issues, ensuring your heating system functions optimally.

We recommend servicing your furnace once a year to prevent furnace breakdowns and costly repairs. Scheduling furnace maintenance services in the fall can ensure it receives all the care it needs to prepare for the cold.
What should I do before I call for furnace repairs?
If you’re having problems with your furnace, ensure your thermostat is set to heating mode and the desired temperature is set correctly.
