Furnace repair in Nebraska's winter conditions
With IECC climate zone 5 winters across much of Nebraska, furnaces run hard from November through March. Problems that went unnoticed in fall, like a weak flame sensor or a clogged filter, usually show up during the first real cold front.
Natural gas furnaces are common in Nebraska. 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.
In rural Nebraska, propane furnaces are common. If an LP furnace stops lighting, check the tank gauge first; low tank pressure causes lockouts, and a run-out requires a leak check before relighting.
