Expert Insights

Pro Tips: Furnace Repair in Poway

Before calling a technician, these checks can save time and help you describe the problem accurately.

Test Your CO Detectors

Place carbon monoxide detectors near the furnace and sleeping areas and test them at the start of heating season. Gas furnaces are the leading residential CO source.

Clear the Condensate Path

High humidity means heavy condensate. A clogged drain line is a top cause of water damage and auto-shutdowns in summer — flush it at the start of cooling season.

Confirm Heat Mode & Filter

Set the thermostat to Heat above room temperature and check the filter — a dirty filter trips the high-limit switch and causes a furnace to short-cycle or blow cool air.

Stop "Dirty Sock" Odors

Musty smells when cooling kicks on are common in humid climates — biofilm on a damp coil. A coil cleaning and UV treatment usually resolves it for good.
