Having an appliance tripping your circuit breaker is never a good thing, but having your furnace cause difficulties through the coldest Eastland days is pretty high on J & J Air Conditioning’s list of “Bad Things.” If your furnace is tripping your circuit breaker, it could mean you need a furnace repair. J & J Air Conditioning can help you find out what the exact problem is, but here are some reasons we usually see: overworked furnaces, short circuits and wiring problems. No matter what is happening with your furnace, if your circuit breaker is tripping, you need to call in an expert.
Overworked Furnaces
There are a variety of explanations as to why your furnace becomes overworked, but they’re typically preventable. Dirty air filters and blocked or closed vents are often the culprit—and those problems can be easily identified and resolved during a preventive maintenance visit. If that isn’t the reason for your furnace trouble, J & J Air Conditioning can help you out by doing a furnace repair.
Short Circuits
If you have a short circuit in your furnace, it will trip the breaker immediately when you turn it on. If you suspect you have a short circuit in your furnace, call J & J Air Conditioning 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 cause your furnace to overheat and trip your circuit. Your J & J Air Conditioning professional can find and tighten any loose connections and ensure your furnace is functioning safely.
