Most of our "replacement" gas furnaces are sold because the old furnace developed a crack in the heat exchanger. The crack is seldom visible to the untrained eye. Sometimes it is not visible to the most experienced technician but he is able to make a judgement call based upon the operation of the system. Maybe the pilot light keeps going out. Maybe a safety switch sometimes cuts the furnace off. Then the homeowner resets the furnace and it seems to work for a few days.

We are currently running a "Tune-up Inspection Program" where Cascade Natural Gas will complete a 13-point inspection on your furnace for $125. Scheduling times may vary by district. For more information, click here. See similar questions...

Mostly on the system components like JDK or Apache Tomcat Server or server port which does not configured correctly. See similar questions...

You can try to reset the furnace by turning the power switch off, wait 1 minute then turn the switch back on. Or you can turn the thermostat to the lowest setting, wait 10 seconds then turn the thermostat back up. The furnace should restart itself. See similar questions...

In 2005, nearly 58 percent of all households (residential sector) used natural gas as their primary heating fuel accounting for about 22 percent of total natural gas consumed in the United States. See similar questions...

There are 2 main reasons for purchasing a variable-speed, 2-stage gas furnace: comfort and energy savings. Comfort: a 2-stage variable speed gas furnace distributes the air around your house more evenly, which results in better heating or cooling distribution. These types of furnaces make much less noise, which means less white noise in the background. Less noise, better heat distribution = more comfort. See similar questions...

Along with the reasons for purchasing a furnace with a variable speed blower system, consumers are now buying a modulating gas furnace because it offers the maximum efficiency (95%) throughout the entire modulating range. Modulating means the furnace raises and lowers the heat output of your furnace automatically, from 30% to 100%, and anywhere in between. See similar questions...

Often the simplest way to determine this is to look at your thermostat. If you see an Emergency Heat or Supplemental Heat setting, chances are you have a heat pump. Of course, many times the thermostat has been changed, either by the homeowner or a weekend warrior, and the wrong type of thermostat has been installed. You can look at your outside unit; many times the words "Heat Pump" will be on the label somewhere. If your outside unit runs during the winter, then you have a heat pump. See similar questions...

A gas furnace heats your home with warmer air than that generated by an electric heat pump which makes a home feel drafty. Gas furnaces are less expensive to maintain and last about twice as long as electric heat pumps. See similar questions...

Every year, more than half a million American men, almost one in twenty, will have a hernia that needs surgery. And while the number of women who have problematic inguinal hernias is much less, they are on the rise. Typically men are about 10 times more likely to get an inguinal hernia than women. Men are more susceptible to this type of hernia because of a residual weakness along the path (inguinal canal) where the testicles descended into the scrotum prior to birth. See similar questions...

The NPGA has developed a comprehensive maintenance program called GAS Check? (Gas Appliance System Check), in which trained technicians inspect propane systems and appliances in homes to ensure they are running safely and efficiently. The program also educates homeowners on the proper maintenance of propane appliances and how to handle propane safely. See similar questions...

Have your chimney checked or cleaned every year. Chimneys can be blocked by debris. This can cause CO to build up inside your home or cabin. Never patch a vent pipe with tape, gum, or something else. This kind of patch can make CO build up in your home, cabin, or camper. Horizontal vent pipes to fuel appliances should not be perfectly level. Indoor vent pipes should go up slightly as they go toward outdoors. See similar questions...

No, the system will combine the comfort of radiant with the responsiveness of hot air. It may be desirable to control the radiant with a floor sensor. See similar questions...

A heating unit that heats air by transferring heat in a metal combustion area to the air and circulating it through the house in a network of ducts. The common fuels used to heat the air circulated through the furnace are fuel oil, natural gas, and electricity. Furnaces may need to be replaced if the heat exchanger cracks or if the homeowner wants to upgrade to achieve higher fuel efficiencies and save money on heating bills. An air conditioning system can normally be added to a furnace. See similar questions...

Generally it is not the thermostat. The thermostat mechanism is a simple switch that turns the furnace on when the temperature drops below the set point. If it is a digital thermostat, make sure the batteries are new, and that if you remove it to replace them, that it is making good contact when you put it back on the wall. See similar questions...

Yes, in fact it works even better with gas heating because the heat exchanger takes time to cool down after the gas valve has been closed allowing the gas valve to be cycled to maintain a constant discharge temperature. The controller will prevent the heat exchanger from overheating while the unit safeties will remain in case of a catastrophic failure. See similar questions...

Generally if your brake stopped working entirely, you have an electrical problem. This is most likely a failed switch (probably a fuel pump or clutch switch). You can usually confirm this by hot-wiring the brake, bringing battery power directly to the solenoid leads (with the engine at idle). Be sure to disconnect the existing leads to the solenoids so that you do not damage your control system. If the brake does not operate when hot-wired, you may have a solenoid failure.

Absolutely. By having our highly trained technicians installing a new high efficiency furnace and/or air conditioner, your gas and electric bill will usually be cut in half. Insulation quality in your home is also important in keeping your heating and air conditioning bills lower. See similar questions...

Unfortunately, furnace oil prices are expected to remain high for some period of time. Issues involving seasonal and ongoing demand in distillate products (furnace oil and diesel products) may see prices remain high throughout this heating season. See similar questions...

Natural gas can do more than heat your home and hot water. It can heat swimming pools and hot tubs. And it powers generators, barbeque grills, fireplaces, and even automobiles. See similar questions...
