How to take Care of Your Carrier Gas Furnace


Some of the most frequent problems you’ll encounter with your carrier furnace are:

• Oil burner can’t start – Troubleshoot this buy looking for a blown fuse or any faulty circuit breakers. Sometimes the motor over-loads so wait for thirty minutes and press the reset button.
• The Furnace won’t fire up – This is common among other brands. The first step is to check if the tank is empty and refill it if it is. If after this you can’t see an ignition spark then use the reset button on the stack control panel.
• Not enough Heat– Start by looking if the thermostat is set to 5°, and adjust if necessary. In rare cases you’ll find that the blower is to blame by being clogged and dirty. Cleaning this should sort it out. Also check and clean the air filter if it seems blocked up.
• Noise – Start by looking for any loose parts or screws and adjust where you see fit. Blower and fan belts cause a lot of squeaking noises so lubricate with belt dresser or replace.

Looking after your carrier gas furnace will prevent it from having frequent hang-ups, especially during those cold winter months. Always call a professional if you find that you can’t solve the problem with your carrier furnace and also be safety conscious.
