Goodman Heater Repair

Operational equipment is essential to every comfortable living. It will be hard to imagine a happy winter without a properly working heater. What can be worse than a bitter chill night? To make sure that doesn’t happen to your house, we’ve made this simple guide for you. The thing about heat exchangers is that there is carbon monoxide (CO) inside of them. When they crack, the CO leaks out. CO can make you really sick, and it can even be fatal in serious cases. The bottom line: You should always replace a cracked heat exchanger or just replace your furnace if it's past its prime. Sometimes, the problem isn't your heater at all. It's your ductwork. Proper ductwork design and installation is a major undertaking. Unfortunately, many builders and HVAC contractors cut corners or rely on rules of thumb (instead of building science) when sizing and installing ducts. When you're lucky, you end up with ductwork that's kind of the right size and installed more or less properly. The system might not operate at peak efficiency, but it will work. But when they do a really bad job - and it happens! - you'll never achieve proper airflow throughout your home. Not only will it be hard to stay comfortable, but your furnace will short cycle more often. Over time, it might even overheat. And fail. The solution is to fix whatever HVAC equipment components failed and redesign your ductwork to the extent possible. Otherwise, you might have the same problem again. If the inducer motor starts pulling high amps, it can eventually burn out. It can also get dirty over time, which causes safety switches to cut the furnace off. During tune-ups, we check the draft to make sure the inducer fan motor is working properly. Anyway, you've got to replace it when it goes bad. Whenever we replace a draft inducer, we also take samples from the flue gas to test the efficiency of your burners and the integrity of your heat exchanger.
