Furnace repair calls in Robbinsdale homes
A Robbinsdale furnace call lands in one of two kinds of basement. In the 1920s and 30s houses, the furnace is the latest in a line of conversions: a gas unit on ductwork adapted from a gravity system, with big trunks, few returns and a flue into a masonry chimney built for coal. Those furnaces overheat and trip their limits when the return side is too small, and their venting needs watching, since an old chimney can crumble inside or lose draft in deep cold.
The postwar houses from the 1940s and 50s are simpler: a basement furnace, trunk-and-branch ducts and a chimney shared with the water heater. Their common failures are inducer motors, igniters, flame sensors and pressure switches. Houses that have moved to a 96% furnace trade chimney problems for condensate ones, like a clogged trap or a frozen drain line. Either way, CenterPoint Energy supplies the gas, and a suspected leak goes to them first.

Furnace repair in Robbinsdale: questions
The water heater pilot in our Robbinsdale house keeps going out in cold weather, and it shares the chimney with the furnace. Are they related?
Possibly. A cold masonry chimney, especially on an outside wall, can stall or reverse its draft when the furnace is off, and the water heater then pulls flue gas or cold air back down at its draft hood, which can snuff the pilot. That same backdraft is how carbon monoxide gets into a basement. Check your CO alarms, and have us run a draft test with both appliances firing. A correctly sized liner usually fixes it.
CenterPoint red-tagged the furnace in our Robbinsdale house. What happens now?
The furnace stays off until the hazard is fixed. A red tag means the technician found a problem such as a cracked heat exchanger, flue gas spilling into the house or a gas leak, shut off the gas to that appliance and tagged it so nobody relights it. Ask what was found. We inspect the same issue and give you a written repair price, plus a replacement price if the furnace is too old to be worth fixing.
