Diagnostics
Common failures and what they mean
Heating locks out in cold mornings
Dirty flame sensors, failed igniters, cracked heat exchangers or blocked flues. A cracked heat exchanger is a safety issue and requires unit shutdown.
Noise and vibration on the roof
Worn belts, failed bearings, out-of-balance fans or loose panels. Left alone these turn into motor and shaft failures.
High energy bills from an economizer that never closes
The unit conditions 100% outside air year-round. Economizer repair typically pays back within one season.
