Woodbury Furnace Repair

All Woodbury homes should have two essential pieces of HVAC equipment installed: a quality air conditioning unit to stay cool during those 80-degree summers and a reliable furnace for the frigid Minnesota winters. These sometimes extreme temperatures and general wear and tear, however, can put a significant strain on our heating systems, meaning they become less efficient.

Don’t wait until your furnace completely shuts down to call for help – contact Hurlburt now and our expert furnace repair team can check out those strange smells or malfunctioning thermostats straight away. We have 60+ years of experience in fixing electrical issues and poor insulation, so there’s no problem that can’t be resolved. 

We’re also qualified to work with a variety of leading furnace brands, including Lennox, York, Trane, Carrier, Bryant, American Standard, and more. Call us for planned or emergency repairs at an affordable price all year round to keep your home cozy through Minnesota’s often unforgiving weather conditions.

Signs That Your Furnace Requires Repairing 

Avoid being stuck in a freezing home this winter and facing large repair bills by getting your furnace fixed straight away. Those irregular popping noises or frequent temperature cycling might not be much of an issue during the hot summer months when you’re spending days out on Carver Lake Beach – but you’ll wish you hadn’t waited to get those simple repairs done when single-digit temperatures kick in.

Ignoring vital warnings such as a yellow pilot light on your furnace can also be incredibly dangerous, indicating a potential carbon monoxide leak. Call an experienced furnace repair service upon noticing any of the following signs from your heating system to keep your home both warm and safe this year:

• Insufficient airflow
• Burning smells
• Strange rattling or creaking sounds
• Uneven temperature distribution around your home
• Frequent cycling
• Little or no heat produced 
• Won’t turn on at all
• Sudden increase in energy bills

Furnaces that are less than 10 years old can typically be fixed, but we may recommend a complete replacement if yours requires frequent repairs. Check out our furnace installation services to get an energy-efficient heating solution that’s fully customized to suit your home.

Why is Furnace Maintenance So Important?

Unfortunately, we can’t always predict when our heating systems will stop working, particularly if they’ve reached the end of their 15 to 20-year lifespan. Arriving home after a winter walk around Central Park or watching a hockey game at the M Health Fairview Sports Center to a cold living space are scenarios you’ll want to avoid – especially in a city where temperatures often drop below 6℉ during the winter. 

Investing in regular furnace maintenance allows us to tackle those small repair issues, such as blocked air filters or faulty thermostats, before they progress into bigger problems like damaged heat exchangers. Fixing these vital components can cost $1,500 or more, which often makes it cheaper to install a completely new furnace system. 

Let us detect these issues early on and prevent your furnace from breaking down at the most inconvenient times by scheduling regular furnace maintenance. We’d recommend booking two appointments throughout the year, one during the fall before the colder months hit and another to check that your furnace is in good condition as temperatures begin to warm up again. 

All of our furnace repair and maintenance jobs also come with a 12-month labor and parts warranty, so you can enjoy full peace of mind knowing that your heating system is operating safely.

Common Furnace Repair Issues in Woodbury

Power surges and general wear and tear are two reasons why your furnace may be damaged. Luckily, at Hurlburt, we’ve been keeping Woodbury Residents warm since 1959, so there’s no problem that we can’t fix, including these common furnace repair issues:

• Blocked Ductwork: Not all of the hot air produced makes it through to your living spaces, so we’ll look inside the vents to check for any obstructions, including dust and debris. 
• Old Filters: If your furnace is working excessively, yet not heating the air as effectively as it should, your filters may be clogged. Filters generally require replacing every month or two, depending on the manufacturer, to ensure that air can pass through them properly. 
• Malfunctioning Thermostat: An electrical system fault can cause your home’s thermostat to detect the wrong temperature, which tells the furnace to start a heating cycle at the wrong time. We’ll examine the thermostat to see whether there’s an issue with the software or hardware, before either fixing the wiring or completely replacing it.
• Broken Limit Switch: Limit switches tell the furnace’s blower fan when to switch itself on and off by detecting any heat produced within the system. This is particularly essential when your furnace is becoming too hot, which increases the risk of fires and system damage. A continuously running furnace can indicate a malfunctioning limit switch, which should be either repaired or replaced by a HVAC expert.
• Damaged Blower Components: Furnaces that are struggling to blow hot air may be encountering problems with the blower ball bearings or belt. This is often due to general wear over time or incorrect installation, leading to scraping or high-pitched squealing sounds. 

Our repair services aren’t limited to these issues; whether you’ve noticed a foul odor or are simply concerned about your furnace’s efficiency, speak to us today and we’ll send out a team ASAP to inspect your heating system.
