It’s not a good thing when one your appliances is tripping your circuit breaker, but having your furnace cause complications during the coldest Greensburg days is pretty high on Wallpe Heating & Cooling’s list of “Bad Things.” If your furnace is tripping your circuit breaker, there is a chance you need a furnace repair. Wallpe Heating & Cooling can help you determine what the exact problem is, but here are some reasons we commonly see: overworked furnaces, short circuits and wiring problems. Regardless what is happening with your furnace, if your circuit breaker is tripping, you need to call in a professional.
Overworked Furnaces
There are a variety of explanations as to why your furnace becomes overworked, but they’re typically preventable. Dirty air filters and blocked or closed vents are often to blame—and those problems can be easily identified and resolved during a preventive maintenance visit. If those are not responsible for your furnace trouble, Wallpe Heating & Cooling can help you out by doing a furnace repair.

No matter how they got that way, loose wires can cause your furnace to overheat and trip your circuit.
