Furnace repair in New Hampshire's winter conditions
New Hampshire furnaces work through some of the longest heating seasons in the country (IECC zone 6 at its coldest), so wear parts like ignitors, inducer motors and blower bearings fail more often than in milder states. A furnace that quits during a sub-zero night is an emergency here, because pipes can start to freeze within hours.
Natural gas furnaces are common in New Hampshire. 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.
Many New Hampshire homes still burn heating oil. Oil furnaces need an annual nozzle and filter change; a clogged nozzle or a tripped primary control (the red reset button) is a frequent winter failure. Don't press the reset more than once.
In rural New Hampshire, 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.
