As summer bids farewell, the winter months creep in. It’s a normal occurrence of seasons changing annually so it’s not surprising not many do not pay too much attention to their Fresno heating service. So long as the system works, it’s left alone to continue providing comfort in the home. However, this isn’t always the case. A heating system that has been in service for years is susceptible to damage, especially when it lacks proper maintenance.

Even if the outer appearance of your furnace looks perfectly fine or it doesn’t make any weird sounds that usually indicates a problem, doesn’t mean there isn’t a problem.

The furnace has several safety features installed mainly to prevent malfunctions that may lead to fire or explosion. First, the Induced Draft Motor (IDM) blows all of the air inside the unit out through the exhaust flue to ensure that there is no gas build up. This gas build up can cause an explosion when the furnace is turned on, therefore, the unit turns off when IDM fails and there is gas build up.

Next, the IDM pressure switch checks if the IDM is actually running. If the IDM is not working, as a safety measure, the unit will shut off. But if the first two features are working, then, the igniters are powered up to create a flame. However, if there is no burning within four seconds, the system will automatically shut down. And for obvious reasons, the system will not even turn on if one of these safety features fail. If you suspect this may be a problem with your heating and cooling system, then talk to an expert nearest you.
