Furnace Repair in Citrus Heights
Citrus Heights has some of the oldest housing stock in the Sacramento metro. Homes built in the 1960s, 1970s, and 1980s line the streets from Auburn Blvd to Sunrise Mall and beyond. The furnaces in many of these homes are 20, 30, even 40 years old. Some are still running on original equipment.
A furnace that old isn't just inefficient -- it can be dangerous. Cracked heat exchangers are the biggest concern. After 20+ years of thermal cycling (heating up, cooling down, thousands of times), the metal fatigues and cracks. Those cracks let combustion gases -- including carbon monoxide -- leak into your home's air supply. You can't see it or smell it. That's why we test for CO on every single furnace repair call in Citrus Heights.
Other common issues we see in Citrus Heights furnaces:
- Failed igniters. Older furnaces had standing pilot lights. Systems from the 1990s switched to hot surface igniters. These igniters are fragile and crack after 7-10 years. Replacement takes about 30 minutes.
- Worn-out blower motors. The blower motor pushes heated air through your ducts. After 20+ years, bearings wear out and the motor overheats or stops altogether. You'll hear grinding or squealing before it fails completely.
- Dirty flame sensors. A dirty flame sensor causes the furnace to ignite, run for a few seconds, then shut off. It'll cycle like this repeatedly. Cleaning the sensor is a quick fix, but ignoring it leads to bigger problems.
We'll always be straight with you. If your 30-year-old furnace needs a $200 flame sensor cleaning, we'll clean it. If it has a cracked heat exchanger and the repair would cost more than a new high-efficiency unit, we'll tell you that too.
