Bay Village Heating, Cooling and Plumbing

That is almost always a blocked vent. High efficiency furnaces draw combustion air through a PVC pipe outside, and drifting snow on the north or west wall can seal it. The control senses the blockage and locks out. Clearing the pipe and raising the termination usually ends the problem.

Steady wind and blowing snow off the lake are the trade off, so we look at placement and snow clearance before recommending one. We price both options.

Most single system ranch installs run one day. Crews arrive in the morning, remove the old equipment, set the new furnace and coil, adjust the plenum and venting, then test and commission before leaving. Work that involves new ductwork, a chimney liner or gas line changes can stretch into a second day.
