It’s not a good thing when one your appliances is tripping your circuit breaker, but having your furnace cause problems throughout the coldest Wharton days is pretty high on Faust Air Conditioning and Heating’s list of “Bad Things.” If your furnace is tripping your circuit breaker, you may need a furnace repair. Faust Air Conditioning and Heating can help you identify what the exact problem is, but here are a few reasons we commonly see: overworked furnaces, short circuits and wiring problems. No matter what is taking place with your furnace, if your circuit breaker is tripping, you need to call in a qualified technician.
Overworked Furnaces
There are a variety of explanations as to why your furnace becomes overworked, but they’re generally preventable. Dirty air filters and blocked or closed vents are often responsible—and those problems can be easily identified and fixed during a preventive maintenance visit. If that isn’t the reason for your furnace trouble, Faust Air Conditioning and Heating can help you out by executing a furnace repair.
Short Circuits
If you have a short circuit in your furnace, it will trip the breaker promptly when you turn it on. If you think you have a short circuit in your furnace, call Faust Air Conditioning and Heating right away for a furnace repair. Short circuits can be very hazardous, initiating fires or other serious damages.

Regardless of how they got that way, loose wires can cause your furnace to overheat and trip your circuit. Your Faust Air Conditioning and Heating expert can find and tighten any loose connections and keep your furnace operating safely.
