Furnace Repair in Phoenix, AZ
Furnaces are a common and effective tool for heating homes with natural gas, and can even be found right here in the Valley of the Sun. A furnace actually works much like an air conditioner in that it uses a heat exchanger to heat the air that is already in the house.
And while the most common fuel for a home furnace in the United States is natural gas, although other sources may be fuel oil, coal, or wood.

What Are the Parts in a Furnace & How Does a Furnace Work?
The key part of the furnace is the burner, where natural gas is combusted to produce heat. A motor in the furnace pulls air in from the house, through a grate in the above floor. As the air moves past the heat from the combustion of natural gas, it heats up.
The warmer air is then redistributed throughout the house through a series of ducts throughout the residence. Once again, in this way, your furnace is a lot like your central AC system, except that it distributes warm air rather than cool air.
What Are Common Furnace Problems?
Over time and through continued usage, it is natural for a few problems to occur with furnaces. For example, the filters that direct the air from your home into the furnace can get dirty quickly, and should be replaced regularly. Also, the ducts that distribute the warmed air throughout the house can come apart at the seams, allowing the warm air to escape and be lost.
Unless the ducts and plenum, which is an enclosed space used for airflow, have been sealed using mastic or foil duct tape, the ductwork may also have a high leak percentage, possibly letting your air out through unconditioned spaces. The most common furnace problem, meanwhile, which results in a cold house and high heating bills, is probably a dirty burner.

Furnace Repair Vs. Replacement
When your furnace goes down, you’re left with one of two options. You could either repair the unit or replace it outright. It might seem like furnace repair in Phoenix is the cheaper alternative, however it’s actually more expensive in the following situations.
Usually a furnace will last about 20 years depending on use, environment, brand and how much it’s maintained. If your unit is much older than that, you should reconsider any furnace repair and put that money to a new unit instead.
Our Phoenix furnace repair technicians will always be happy to come in and fix your unit, but they shouldn’t need to all the time. If you’re getting to know our repair team by name they’re over so often, then get a new unit and maintain it well so it will need fewer repairs.
If the utility that powers your heating has a bill that’s steadily climbing, you should consider a new unit when it breaks down as opposed to sinking more money into a unit that’s costing you more and more.
