Common Furnace Problems We Diagnose and Repair in Lexington

Green Energy Mechanical diagnoses and repairs common furnace problems in Lexington for residential and commercial properties across Middlesex County. Signs your furnace needs repair include furnace not working and irregular heating. Our furnace repair, troubleshooting, and diagnosis process identifies each root cause.

Furnace Won’t Start or Ignite

Furnace not heating or furnace not turning on indicates ignition failure, gas valve fault, or furnace control board malfunction. A furnace won’t start due to delayed ignition, a failed ignitor, or pilot light outage.

Common causes of furnace not heating:

• Furnace ignitor or ignitor failure
• Pilot light outage or gas valve malfunction
• Tripped breaker, electrical issue, or wiring problem
• Thermostat or control board fault

Our furnace diagnosis identifies the root cause. We diagnose and repair to complete furnace repair and restore reliable heat.

Furnace Short Cycling and Frequent Shutdowns

Furnace short cycling causes furnace overheating, heat exchanger stress, and reduced heat delivery. A dirty filter or clogged filter blocks airflow and triggers the furnace limit switch or limit switch.

Common causes of furnace short cycling:

• Poor airflow from blocked vents or cold air return obstruction
• Furnace blower motor or blower motor fault causing airflow issues
• Furnace pressure switch or pressure switch failure

Furnace keeps shutting off? Why is my furnace not working? Our technicians troubleshoot and repair the furnace filter to eliminate furnace short cycling.

Furnace Not Heating or Weak Heat Output

Furnace not heating home or furnace blowing cold air indicates heat exchanger failure, furnace burner blockage, or draft inducer fault. A cracked heat exchanger releases combustion byproducts and carbon monoxide, creating immediate danger. Yellow flame signals low gas pressure and incomplete combustion from the furnace burner. A failed furnace flame sensor, furnace inducer motor, blower, or fan motor causes heat loss and cold air delivery. Our technicians perform root cause analysis to diagnose and repair all components to restore full heat output.

Furnace Making Noise: Banging, Squealing, or Rattling

A furnace making noise requires immediate inspection to prevent failure. Furnace banging indicates delayed ignition or heat exchanger stress from combustion. Furnace squealing points to worn blower motor bearings or a faulty fan motor.

Common noise causes:

• Banging: delayed ignition, combustion expansion, heat exchanger stress
• Squealing: worn blower motor or fan motor bearings, failed capacitor, furnace blower fault
• Rattling: loose sheet metal, ductwork vibration, worn part or faulty part

Our technicians identify the root source, repair the failed component, and complete furnace repair to restore quiet operation.
