Having an appliance tripping your circuit breaker is never a good thing, but having your furnace cause complications through the coldest Norco and St. Charles Parish days is pretty high on Mayeuxs AC & Heating’s list of “Bad Things.” If your furnace is tripping your circuit breaker, there is a chance you need a furnace repair. Mayeuxs AC & Heating can help you identify what the exact problem is, but here are a few reasons we commonly see: overworked furnaces, short circuits and wiring problems. Regardless what is happening with your furnace, if your circuit breaker is tripping, you need to call in a professional.
Overworked Furnaces
Furnaces become overworked for a number of reasons, but they’re typically preventable. Dirty air filters and blocked or closed vents are often the culprit—and those problems can be easily identified and remedied during a preventive maintenance visit. If that’s not the cause of your furnace trouble, Mayeuxs AC & Heating can help you out by doing a furnace repair.
Short Circuits
If you have a short circuit in your furnace, it will trip the breaker immediately when you turn it on. If you believe you have a short circuit in your furnace, call Mayeuxs AC & Heating 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 Mayeuxs AC & Heating technician can find and tighten any loose connections and keep your furnace operating safely.
