Frequently Asked Questions

Why is my furnace "short-cycling" by turning on and off every few minutes?

Short-cycling is frequently caused by a restricted airflow issue or a failing flame sensor. If air cannot move freely through the system due to a clogged filter or blocked return vents, the heat exchanger will quickly overheat, triggering the high-limit safety switch to shut the burners down. Alternatively, if the flame sensor—a small metal rod that confirms the gas has ignited—is coated in carbon soot, it will fail to “see” the flame. For safety, the system will shut off the gas within seconds of ignition to prevent unburned gas from accumulating in your home.

What does it mean if my furnace's "draft inducer motor" is running but the burners won't ignite?

The draft inducer motor is the small fan that clears the heat exchanger of any residual gases and creates a vacuum to ensure a safe exhaust flow. Once it reaches the correct speed, it triggers a pressure switch. If the burners aren’t igniting, it usually means the pressure switch hasn’t closed, often because of a cracked vacuum hose, a bird’s nest in the chimney, or a buildup of water in the inducer housing. The furnace’s control board treats this as a major safety fault and will prevent the ignition sequence from starting until the “draft” is verified.

Can a cracked heat exchanger be repaired, or does it always require a replacement?

A cracked heat exchanger is a critical safety failure that cannot be welded or patched. Because the heat exchanger is responsible for keeping toxic combustion gases (like carbon monoxide) separate from the air being blown into your living spaces, any breach in the metal is a “red tag” offense. Since the heat exchanger is the most labor-intensive component to access and represents the “core” of the furnace, the cost of the part and the specialized labor to install it often approaches the price of a brand-new, more efficient unit.
