When to Call for Furnace Repair

- It starts, runs a few minutes, then shuts off and tries again
- You hear clicking at startup but the burners never light

- Water around the base of a high-efficiency furnace
- Your heating bill climbed but the house feels colder
- A carbon monoxide alarm goes off (leave the house first, then call)
Why Woodburn Furnaces Work Hard
Woodburn sits on the flat floor of the Willamette Valley, where cold air settles on still winter days. Fog can hang over town for days at a time, holding temperatures in the 30s, so furnaces run long cycles from November through March. Long run times wear out blower motors, capacitors and ignitors faster than in a mild winter.
Ice storms are the other stress. When power goes out and comes back, the surge can damage a furnace control board. If your furnace will not restart after an outage, check the breaker and the switch on the side of the unit, then call us.
The Furnace Repairs We Make Most
Most no-heat calls come down to a short list of parts. Our technicians test each one before replacing anything, and we explain what failed and why before the repair starts.
- Flame sensors coated with residue, which shut the burners off seconds after they light
- Hot surface ignitors that crack with age
- Inducer motors and pressure switches on high-efficiency furnaces
- Clogged condensate drains and traps that shut a furnace down
- Blower motors and run capacitors
- Limit switches that trip from a dirty filter or blocked return
- Control boards damaged by power surges
- Thermostats and wiring that stop calling for heat
Woodburn Homes We Work In
Many homes in Woodburn's established neighborhoods, including the Senior Estates area, were built in the 1960s and 1970s. Some still heat with electric furnaces or older gas units, and their ductwork often needs attention along with the furnace. Newer homes on the edges of town usually have high-efficiency gas furnaces, which have more sensors and a condensate drain that needs to stay clear.
We also service furnaces and rooftop units in Woodburn shops, offices and retail buildings. We repair Trane, American Standard, Carrier, Bosch and Mitsubishi equipment along with most other major brands.
Repair or Replace?
A well-kept gas furnace usually lasts 15 to 20 years. If yours is younger than that, a repair is usually the right choice.
We will talk about replacement when the heat exchanger is cracked, when an older furnace needs a major part, or when it has needed several repairs in a few seasons. If you do replace, we can quote a new furnace and a heat pump side by side so you can compare comfort and running costs before you decide.
Quick Checks Before You Call
A few problems have simple fixes. Try these first, and call us if the furnace still won't heat.
- Make sure the thermostat is set to Heat and the set temperature is above room temperature. Thermostat not working?
- Replace the air filter if it looks gray or clogged. A blocked filter can trip the furnace off.
- Check the furnace switch (it looks like a light switch) and the breaker in your panel.
- Reset the furnace and look at the flame sensor. How to reset a furnace
- Listen for what the furnace is doing at startup. What furnace noises mean
