Furnace repair in Alabama's winter conditions
Furnaces in Alabama may only run a few dozen days a year. That light use is exactly why they fail on the first cold night: dust builds up, sensors corrode and pests nest in vents. Test the furnace before the first forecast freeze.
Natural gas furnaces are common in Alabama. Most no-heat calls on gas units trace back to the ignition sequence: inducer, pressure switch, ignitor, flame sensor. A technician checks each step in order.
