Furnace repair in Tennessee's winter conditions
Tennessee's mixed climate means furnaces sit idle for months and then run hard during cold snaps. Dust on burners and sensors, and ignitors that crack on first use, account for a lot of early-winter calls.
Natural gas furnaces are common in Tennessee. 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.
