Furnace repair calls in Big Lake homes

In Big Lake's 1990s and 2000s subdivisions, the furnace sits in a basement and the repairs are about age: a builder-grade condensing furnace that has lost its inducer, a control board that failed after a summer storm, a condensate trap clogged with sludge. Those are straightforward.

The shoreline is different. Cabins that were winterized in stages often have the furnace in a closet or crawlspace, with ducts running through space that was never heated. A duct that has come apart under the floor can leave one room cold while the furnace runs nonstop, and a crawlspace furnace that sits damp rusts its burners and blower housing years early. Out past the gas mains, propane furnaces add regulator and tank checks. Gas comes from Xcel Energy or CenterPoint Energy depending on the address, and a supply problem goes to whichever one sends your bill.

Furnace repair in Big Lake: questions

One room in our Big Lake lake home stays cold even though the furnace runs constantly. What should we check?

Start under the floor. In converted cabins, the duct to that room often runs through a crawlspace or an unheated addition, and a joint that has pulled apart or been crushed dumps the heat before it arrives. Make sure the register is open and nothing blocks the return. If the duct is the problem, reconnecting and insulating it is a repair. If the room was added without a duct at all, a ductless head may be the better fix.

The furnace in our Big Lake crawlspace is rusty. Is it safe to keep running?

Rust on the cabinet is cosmetic, but rust on the burners, heat exchanger or flue connector is not. Damp crawlspaces age furnaces early, corroded burners can let flame roll out of the firebox, and a rusted-through vent can leak exhaust under the house. We inspect the burners, check the flue and measure CO around the furnace. If it's unsafe, we'll tell you in writing, and drying out the crawlspace protects whatever furnace goes there next.
