Electric Furnace Repairs and Replacement
A number of issues can crop up in your electric furnace or with the thermostat. The thermostat sensors may start to read the indoor temperature incorrectly and will require recalibration. Or the components that are responsible for starting up the furnace, like the starting capacitor, may become faulty.
Here are other components that might go bad:
- Furnace fuses
- The blower motor
- Fan belts in belt-driven furnaces
- The transformer
- Wiring or electrical connections
Then there’s the sequencer, which slowly turns on the heating elements to prevent an excessive load on the circuit. If that’s malfunctioning, your furnace may overheat and shut down prematurely or run on and on without heating. The heating elements themselves may fail due to age or old wiring.
Whatever your unit is facing, our professional technicians can accurately diagnose it the first time around and give honest recommendations for the solution. The important thing is not to try any repairs on your own. For example, many homeowners will replace the fuses but put in a type unsuitable for their furnace’s size and blowing capacity. That leads to further problems, and DIY meddling will void the warranty.
The average electric furnace can last 20 to 25 years if you schedule maintenance each year and promptly repair it when something’s wrong. If your system needs an expensive part, such as a new motor, but it’s far from 25 years old, that part will usually be worth investing in. With older units, though, it might not extend the lifespan enough to warrant the cost.
If the technician you’re working with says replacement is the way to go, you’ll be able to look through a wide array of energy-saving products, many of which will have the EPA’s ENERGY STAR label. You could also consider upgrading to a zoned system for increased comfort and lower utility bills. A smart thermostat can also enhance your indoor comfort and energy savings. The team will perform a load calculation and consider your home’s size and insulation levels, among other things, so you don’t get an oversized or undersized unit.

Routine cleaning and maintenance remove dust and debris, ensuring optimal airflow and reducing wear on internal components. This proactive care not only boosts energy efficiency but also extends the lifespan of your electric furnace.
Before reaching out for professional help, ensure you turn off the power and check for obvious signs like dust build-up or loose wiring. However, for any electrical concerns or deeper issues, it is safest to consult a qualified technician.
Accurate sensor calibration ensures that thermostat readings reflect the true indoor temperature, leading to more consistent heating output and preventing energy waste due to overcompensation.
Modern electric furnaces come equipped with features such as automatic shut-off mechanisms, thermal overload protection, and enhanced insulation. These safety measures help prevent overheating and electrical hazards, ensuring reliable operation.
Assess factors like the age of your furnace, the frequency of repairs, and its overall performance. If your unit is approaching 20-25 years or requires constant fixes, replacement might offer better energy efficiency and reliability.
Advanced diagnostic tools enable technicians to quickly pinpoint electrical faults and component failures. This precision in diagnosis leads to more efficient repairs and minimizes downtime, ensuring your furnace operates at its best.
As electric furnaces age, internal components can deteriorate, leading to reduced efficiency and increased repair needs. Regular maintenance may help, but older units might benefit more from an upgrade to enhance performance and energy savings.
Even with an electric furnace, well-designed ductwork ensures efficient distribution of heated air throughout your home. This integration minimizes energy loss and creates a more consistent and comfortable indoor environment.
An efficiently maintained electric furnace consumes less energy, which not only lowers utility bills but also reduces greenhouse gas emissions. This eco-friendly approach contributes to a more sustainable and energy-conscious home in Ontario, CA.
