For your Boise furnace repair today we are going to talk about filters and cleaning. One way to avoid a Boise furnace repair is to keep your furnace and your filters clean. You filters provide cleaner air to your home. They protect the working parts in both your furnace and your a/c coil. Without a good filter, all of the dirt, hair and dust that the filter would normally catch is now going to the internal parts of your furnace and coil.
Boise furnace repair
To prevent a Boise furnace repair use a quality 1″ pleated filter, usually somewhere around $7 to $12. A cheap filter will not catch enough of the dirt and be useless. Too thick of a filter will cause other issues in most furnaces such as low air flow. Replace these filters every 3 to 6 months. In most cases in today’s furnaces if you have a Boise furnace repair caused by dirty filters you will see a trouble light on your control board. This board is usually behind the solid (top) panel of the furnace. Each furnace is different but the most common code is 4 blinks. Often times this can be fixed by simply removing the clogged filter, turning off and back on the system. This will fix the air flow problem and reset the control board to allow the furnace to try again. If you have tried this and still have no heat then it is likely that your main high limit is now bad and need replacing. NEVER bypass a high limit or other safety switch. They are there for your safety and are a vital part of your system.
Cleaning as prevention
