You expect your heater to need new filters and an annual tune-up, but what about the repairs that you aren\u2019t aware of? What about the unexpected? There are a few wildcards we need to shed some light on so you\u2019re completely prepared for the next time you need to call for furnace repairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There\u2019s a safety feature built into your furnace fan that is supposed to limit the maximum fan speed. When this breaks, you end up with the aforementioned problem. This can also wear down your fan very quickly; it\u2019s time to call for repairs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Water Leaks<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Water and electricity do not mix. When there\u2019s a nearby water leak (from a pipe, drain, etc.), that water can leak and damage your furnace. Beyond furnace damage, water leaks can also cause other problems in and around your HVAC system including:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
