It’s never a good thing to have an appliance trip your circuit breaker, but having your furnace cause difficulties throughout the coldest Libertyville days is pretty high on TopTec Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electrical’s list of “Bad Things.” If your furnace is tripping your circuit breaker, you may need a furnace repair. TopTec Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electrical can help you find out what the exact problem is, but here are a few reasons we usually see: overworked furnaces, short circuits and wiring problems. It doesn’t matter what is happening with your furnace, if your circuit breaker is tripping, you need to call in an expert.
Overworked Furnaces
Furnaces become overworked for a number of reasons, but they’re generally preventable. Dirty air filters and blocked or closed vents are often to blame—and those problems can be easily identified and fixed during a preventive maintenance visit. If that’s not the cause of your furnace trouble, TopTec Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electrical 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 promptly when you turn it on. If you think you have a short circuit in your furnace, call TopTec Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electrical 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 cause your furnace to overheat and trip your circuit. Your TopTec Heating, Cooling, Plumbing & Electrical professional can find and tighten any loose connections and ensure your furnace is functioning safely.
