- Furnace Won’t Ignition or Turn On: Frequently triggered by pilot light failures, faulty thermostat wiring, or tripped safety limit switches.
- Frequent Short-Cycling: Restricted airflow or severe heat exchanger overheating causing your heating unit to shut down repeatedly.
- Loud Screeching, Banging, or Rattling Noises: Worn blower motor bearings, slipping fan belts, or loose metal ductwork expansion.
