FAQs
Part of our commitment to offering comprehensive service is answering the questions our clients have about their furnace. We welcome all questions, as it allows our clients to have a thorough understanding of how to properly care for their appliance.
Do I Need Fast Service When My Heat Goes Off?
Yes, you need fast assistance when your heat goes off and won’t turn back on. This is particularly important during the winter when the cold weather invades North St. Paul. We offer a 24/7 live answering service, so don’t hesitate to contact us day or night. We are always here to take your call.
Can a New Filter Help My Furnace Work Better?
Replacing your current filter with a new one can help your furnace operate more efficiently. You typically shouldn’t wait any longer than 3 months to replace your furnace filter. However, doing it every 1 or 2 months is preferable if you want to ensure your furnace works optimally. The more debris that accumulates on the filter, the greater the risk that the appliance will strain itself to meet your heating demands.
Is It Normal for My Furnace to Turn On and Off?
A typical heating cycle lasts approximately 15 minutes and occurs two to three times each hour. If each cycle is shorter, meaning it turns on and off frequently without completing a full cycle, then that indicates short cycling. It’s not normal for this to occur. If it does, there’s a problem with the system, and you should contact us to arrange an inspection and repair. Call us as soon as possible, as the longer your furnace continues operating inefficiently, the more at risk it is for a breakdown. You’ll likely also notice an increase in heating bills in the meantime.
