Having an appliance tripping your circuit breaker is never a good thing, but having your furnace cause difficulties throughout the coldest Mechanicsburg days is pretty high on H & H Service Company’s list of “Bad Things.” If your furnace is tripping your circuit breaker, you may need a furnace repair. H & H Service Company can help you find out what the exact problem is, but here are examples of reasons we usually see: overworked furnaces, short circuits and wiring problems. Regardless what is going on with your furnace, if your circuit breaker is tripping, you need to call in a professional.
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 responsible—and those problems can be easily identified and remedied during a preventive maintenance visit. If those are not responsible for your furnace trouble, H & H Service Company 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 H & H Service Company right away for a furnace repair. Short circuits can be very dangerous, 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. No matter how they got that way, loose wires can force your furnace to overheat and trip your circuit. Your H & H Service Company professional can find and tighten any loose connections and make sure your furnace is operating safely.
