An Electrical Failure: A Good Reason to Schedule Heating Repair

September 16th, 2024

Heating systems rely on our home electrical grids to work properly. Yes, even the most advanced and powerful gas furnaces still require electricity to operate. This isn’t just for fancy new lights or convenience, the electrical components in our furnaces are mostly responsible for making them more efficient and safer.

Think about it this way–back in the day, old furnaces relied on a pilot light for ignition. This wasted fuel regularly and also added to the soot and grime build-up over time that could cause issues and safety concerns. Now, with electrical ignition systems, you can simply turn on your furnace whenever you want without wasting fuel or an existing flame.

But what happens when your heating system encounters an electrical malfunction? Then you might need to call our team for heater repair in Ferndale.
