fuse repair
Although fuses are small, it’s a big deal if they blow, as it means your furnace is struggling to keep up with demand. This can be caused by a number of things, including faulty wiring or a clogged condenser.
The solution is simple enough: replace any fuses in your circuit panel (which should be labeled). If that doesn’t do it, schedule an appointment with a professional furnace repair service. It may be time to upgrade.
blown circuit board
One of the most important components of your furnace is its circuit board. It controls everything from which area gets the heat to how long the heat stays on. If there’s a problem with your circuit board, you can have some very strange things happen – like no heat in the zone or frequent fuses blowing.
A blown circuit board can be even more dangerous if excessive carbon monoxide begins to enter your home. If you suspect that something is wrong with your circuit board, call a professional immediately. Average replacement cost is $200 to $600.
replace your entire furnace
Depending on where you live, your furnace is probably one of your biggest monthly bills. Replacing an old furnace with a new high-efficiency model can save you hundreds of dollars per month in energy costs, plus it will help protect against carbon monoxide poisoning. Talk to local contractors about which models will fit your home and how much they cost.
If you decide to replace your entire furnace, expect to pay $1,500 to $6,000 for installation. Keep in mind that these are only averages; If you have specific needs or special features (such as ductwork), prices may be higher or lower than average.
