Furnaces are popular with homeowners because they are reliable, durable, last for years, and only require maintenance once a year. They have scalable capacity to match the needs of any home, and there are even compact models when space is at a premium.

If you need a furnace installed or repaired, call AccuTemp. Our licensed heating technicians can work on any make or model. We understand a broken furnace can leave your household in a difficult situation, especially when heating is needed the most.

Our team provides extensive furnace repair and installation services in areas of Louisiana such as Baton Rouge, Metairie, Kenner, New Orleans, Marrero, Prairieville, and Laplace. With our team of professionals at AccuTemp, homeowners can expect nothing less than exceptional heating services. To receive support with a malfunctioning system, give our team a call at (225) 238-8495 to book an appointment.

The first step to choosing a new furnace is to determine what your heat load is. If you buy a furnace that is too small, it will not have the capacity to heat your entire home. A furnace that is too large, however, will cycle on and off too quickly, leading to extraneous wear and tear on the equipment and causing early failures.

Our expert technicians will calculate the heat load of your home. We take into account windows, doors, square footage, ceiling height, number of floors, insulation levels, and more.

Type of Furnace: Gas vs. Electric Furnaces

The next step of a heating system or furnace installation for homeowners in Baton Rouge is determining if you want a gas or electric unit. Gas furnaces are the most energy-efficient. However, not all homes have access to natural gas lines, and if they do, they may not have gas pipes installed.

If your local gas company says they service your area, call AccuTemp for a quote on installing natural gas pipelines. We can make pipelines for your new natural gas furnace, gas ovens, and gas dryers.

Gas furnaces can have an AFUE (Annual Fuel Utilization Efficiency) rating of up to 98 percent, which means they can convert almost all the energy they use directly into heat. These higher-rated furnaces utilize the recapturing of exhaust fumes and recycling that energy. These energy-efficient furnaces often require upgrading your flue liner, air handler, and other components of your home’s ventilation system.

For homeowners without access to gas, electric furnaces are also very effective. Another option is a heat pump, which also does not require gas lines to operate.

There are a countless number of furnace issues you may encounter throughout the cold months of the year. This is why it’s important to have access to an HVAC contractor who can respond to the issues you are experiencing. Our licensed professionals can help with all types of issues related to a broken furnace in your home.

Below are the types of furnace issues we can assist you with:

Over time, your home’s ductwork naturally accumulates dirt. When this happens, the amount of hot air you will receive diminishes. This means your household is not getting the desired amount of heat and your furnace is going to work harder than normal to perform a complete cycle. This can lead to much larger issues and damage to components in your system. AccuTemp can thoroughly clean your home’s dirty ductwork so your living space gets the heating it needs.

Much like ductwork, the air filters in your home’s furnace become dirty over time with dust and debris. The buildup of dirt, debris, allergens, and pollutants can lead to a lack of heating capabilities, an overworked system, and potentially other problems down the road.

It’s recommended for homeowners to change their air filters regularly every one to three months. If you notice a lack of heating in your home due to a dirty air filter, AccuTemp can help replace it.

The heating your home receives all starts with the furnace’s starting mechanism. If this component in your system is not working correctly, our team of professionals offer reputable furnace repair services in Kenner, Louisiana and will work with you to fix or replace the defective starting mechanism.

The furnace’s blower mechanism is responsible for blowing hot air into your ductwork. Sometimes blower components become damaged. Whether the blower bearings or belt need to be replaced or the blower capacitor is damaged, our team of professionals are available to respond with the necessary repairs.

Have you noticed your home is getting airflow but it isn’t very warm? This could be due to a defective heat exchanger. The heat exchanger is a coil of heated tubes responsible for heating the air you will eventually receive through the supply vents in your home. AccuTemp can inspect your heat exchanger for cracks or malfunctions and get it fixed or replaced quickly.

Is your furnace running when it shouldn’t? It could be because of an inoperable limit switch. A furnace’s limit switch tells the system when heat is present so the blower fan can either be on or off. The furnace must be working properly to prevent potential fires and heat-related damages. Don’t let this become a reality in your home, reach out to AccuTemp so the switch can either be repaired or replaced.

The flame sensor, the component responsible for inspecting the presence of the flame, can malfunction when proper maintenance is not performed. The flame sensor can malfunction due to the buildup of soot and debris around the component.

If your flame sensor is dirty, our team of technicians are available to perform heating and furnace repair services in New Orleans, Louisiana and the surrounding areas. Our professionals will inspect and clean the flame sensor to ensure your furnace is able to activate properly and perform a full heating cycle.

Sometimes when your home is experiencing heating-related issues, it could very well not be the furnace causing the issue. A broken thermostat might be the culprit.

A broken thermostat can lead to unexpected temperatures or no heating at all. Our team of HVAC technicians can examine your home’s thermostat and determine the next course of action. Whether it’s repairs or replacement for your home’s thermostat, AccuTemp will get your heating back in no time.

Noises like clunking, thumping, or squealing can be quite alarming. The furnace contains a lot of moving parts, so depending on the noise you’re hearing in your home, it could be the result of a couple of different things.

Squeaking noises often mean an issue with the blower belt while scraping noises can signal damaged blower bearings. If you notice your furnace making strange noises, reach out to the team at AccuTemp so we can alleviate the issue.

While it’s expected to smell a slight burning aroma when your furnace kicks on for the first time of the heating system, other odors are more concerning. If you notice moldy smells, this could be due to the growth of allergens and debris.

The presence of a rotten or metallic smell may indicate a gas leak in your house and requires immediate attention by turning off the gas valve along with opening the doors and windows in your living space. Evacuate the house, reach out for 24-hour emergency services, and contact our team for furnace repair services.
