✅ What our specialists did:
We performed a full diagnostic and identified the cause — a failed control board. This part is essentially the “brain” of the furnace: it manages all processes. Once it fails, the system starts behaving unpredictably.
✅ Solution:
To restore the furnace, the control board must be replaced. The total cost of repair is over $1000. Diagnostic is free when the repair is completed.
How common is a control board failure?
This is one of the most frequent issues with furnaces. Causes may include:
- power surges,
- overheating,
- moisture (especially in attic installations),
- natural wear over time.
When it makes sense to replace the board:
- ✅ If the furnace is relatively new (under 10–12 years).
- ✅ If the rest of the equipment is in good condition.
- ✅ When the repair cost is significantly lower than purchasing a new unit.
When it’s better to replace the entire furnace:
- ✅ If the furnace is over 15 years old.
- ✅ If there are other major issues (corrosion, cracked heat exchanger, frequent breakdowns).
- ✅ When the repair cost reaches 30–40% of the price of a new furnace.
❓ What does it mean if the fan keeps turning on and off?
It’s usually caused by a faulty control board, and professional diagnostics are required.
❓ How long does the repair take?
In most cases, replacing the control board is completed within one working day.
❓ Why does the repair cost over $1000?
The control board is a complex and expensive part. We only use original certified components, ensuring long-lasting reliability.
