Common Electric Heater Issues

Electric furnaces have a lifespan of 10-12 years, making them a great option for heating your home. When an electric furnace is experiencing issues, a small furnace repair may be all that is needed to get it back up and running. Below are a few reasons your electric furnace may be acting up:

Dirty Filter

When a furnace filter hasn’t been changed in a while, dust and debris can clog the filter and end up causing issues with the blower fan. Our team of heating and cooling contractors near you offer emergency furnace repair and tune-up services to homes in Virginia to help resolve all types of issues.

Faulty Fuses

If fuses are improperly installed or incorrectly matched for the furnace’s capacity, a furnace may not run. Fuses that have built up dirt from lack of cleaning may also cause a furnace repair issue.

Bad Blower

When a blower is damaged it can work overtime, pulling too much power, resulting in a blown fuse. If this is the case, the blower may need to be replaced. If you need a component in your furnace replaced, give us a call.

Water Damage

Electricity and water don’t mix. If your electric furnace has come in contact with water, it may have shorted out. Check your furnace for any signs of water damage and schedule a furnace repair or tune-up with our team in Virginia.

Loose Wire

Furnaces vibrate slightly as they blow air throughout your home. This vibration can lead to the loosening of wires causing a short.
