Having an appliance tripping your circuit breaker is never a good thing, but having your furnace cause complications throughout the coldest Muldrow days is pretty high on Air Service Co.’s list of “Bad Things.” If your furnace is tripping your circuit breaker, it could mean you need a furnace repair. Air Service Co. can help you determine what the exact problem is, but here are some reasons we commonly see: overworked furnaces, short circuits and wiring problems. No matter what is going on with your furnace, if your circuit breaker is tripping, you need to call in a qualified technician.
Overworked Furnaces
There are a variety of explanations as to why your furnace becomes overworked, 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 those are not responsible for your furnace trouble, Air Service Co. 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 instantly when you turn it on. If you suspect you have a short circuit in your furnace, call Air Service Co. right away for a furnace repair. Short circuits can be very hazardous, causing fires or other serious damages.
Wiring Problems
Faulty installation or loose connections can cause your furnace to short circuit and trip your circuit breaker. Regardless of how they got that way, loose wires can force your furnace to overheat and trip your circuit. Your Air Service Co. professional can find and tighten any loose connections and ensure your furnace is functioning safely.
