St. Paul Park furnace calls, often in a house built before 1961 sharing a chimney with the water heater, start with a $79 trip charge, waived once you approve the work. We check the venting as closely as the furnace.
Furnace calls in St. Paul Park come from two kinds of housing. In the houses built before 1961, and in the early-1960s blocks on the east side, the furnace usually sits in a basement and often vents into a chimney it shares with the water heater. When one of those stops, a pressure switch that won't close can point to a failing inducer or a partly blocked flue, so the chimney gets tested too.
The manufactured homes are their own specialty. Their furnaces are downflow units in a hallway or utility closet that pull return air through the closet door and push heat down into a duct under the floor. A high-limit shutdown there often traces to blocked floor registers, a solid door where a louvered one belongs, or a crushed duct rather than a bad part. The roof vent can frost over in hard cold, too.

Often it's airflow rather than the furnace itself. A downflow furnace trips its high-limit switch when it can't move enough air, and the usual causes are a clogged filter, rugs or furniture over the floor registers, a closet door that no longer lets return air through, or a floor duct that has come loose. We check those first, then test the igniter, flame sensor and limit switch before quoting any parts.
Treat it as urgent. An exhaust smell near a chimney-vented furnace can mean a blocked flue or a chimney that isn't drafting, which can spill carbon monoxide into the house. Shut the furnace off at its switch and call us; if a CO alarm sounds, get everyone outside and call 911 from there. If you smell gas instead, get everyone outside and call 911 and Xcel Energy from there. A furnace that fails a draft or carbon monoxide test can be red-tagged until it is fixed.
