Top 5 Furnace and Heating Problems in Tempe

February 03, 2015

We have discussed common air conditioning problems, now we’d like to outline the common heating problems Tempe homeowners often call Orangutan Home Services about. Although there are theoretically hundreds of reasons why your Tempe home’s furnace or heating system may need to be repaired. Below is a list of the top five issues that may cause your furnace or heating equipment to break down:

1. Thermostat breaks resulting in no heat, fan spinning or comfort problems

2. Air circulation problems from fan motors, belts and bearings, causing furnace overload or poor heating control

3. Dirty or clogged filters which develops airflow and comfort problems

4. Problem with the furnace ignition or pilot light, resulting in spotty or no heat

5. Inconsistent maintenance history may cause unexpected breakdowns, poor comfort or higher energy costs (not to mention homeowner frustration!)


Every one of these common issues can be fixed by a professionally qualified, ACE-certified technician. Technicians from Orangutan Home Services can quickly spot the problem area and make the required repairs. Getting a
precision tune-up or maintenance plan could prevent almost all heating problems that leave you with no heat or low comfort levels. When you get a tune-up, all the components are checked and serviced so they run correctly and at peak efficiency during the heating season. Important items like Carbon Monoxide checks, ample combustion air, equipment clearances, and equipment safety are also primary elements to the tune-up process. Most importantly – safety first! Never forget that furnaces of any age may pose safety hazards from combustion or gases, this is particularly the case if a ACE-certified technician has not maintained the equipment regularly.
