Our Furnace Repair Pros Can Bring Comfort Back to Your Home
Your furnace creates heat for your home or office building. Without a properly functioning furnace, you could turn the heat on, but you wouldn’t get any warm air. It’s your furnace that makes heat, and it’s the heater that distributes that warm air throughout the space.
If your furnace isn’t heating correctly, One Hour Air Conditioning & Heating can diagnose any issues and offer furnace repair in Bradenton, FL.

Common Furnace Repair Problems
Starting Mechanism
No matter the type you have, either component can fail, and if it does, it has to be replaced or repaired before your furnace and your heater will work. If you have tried turning on your furnace but it’s not working when it should, call One Hour Air Conditioning & Heating.
Blowers
Furnaces rely on a blower mechanism to send the heated air into your air ducts. If you don’t have any hot air blowing even though your heating system has been turned on, it could mean you need repairs for:
- Bearings
- Belts
- Capacitors
Blower bearings are exposed to regular wear and tear; if they aren’t working correctly, they produce scraping sounds inside the furnace. If you hear this sound, contact our team immediately to schedule your furnace repair in Bradenton, FL.
Blower belts help push air into your home, but if the belt has slipped out of place, it’ll generate a high-pitched squeal, and you’ll need to make a call.
The blower capacitor functions like a battery, powering the entire system. If this gets damaged, it can create a power surge, which causes a short circuit. Our teams can inspect for any damage if you’ve recently tripped the breaker or noticed that your furnace starts working but then stops very quickly.
Flame Sensor Issues
When your furnace starts, the flame sensor checks that there is an appropriate flame. If it can’t find a pilot flame, then it triggers safety features that turn off your furnace.
Most of the time, when this sensor malfunctions, it’s because byproducts like soot or debris have accumulated on the sensor rod. Homeowners don’t often know how to head over to the furnace and clean the flame sensor on a regular basis, but we do.
When you schedule regular furnace maintenance in Bradenton, FL our skilled technicians will properly unscrew the flame sensor from the access panel, clean it, and make a recommendation if a replacement part is necessary.
Thermostat Repairs
Sometimes, the issue has to do with the thermostat and not the furnace. If you have a malfunctioning thermostat, it will read an incorrect temperature, and that means your furnace will stop producing heat or it won’t make enough.
Each member of our team is highly qualified to handle common electrical system issues. They can examine the hardware or software behind your thermostat to get it back up and running or schedule a replacement.
