Common Furnace Problems & Warning Signs in Surrey Homes
Recognizing the early warning signs of furnace trouble can prevent a full breakdown and keep your family safe. If you notice any of these symptoms, contact Blue Ridge HVAC for immediate furnace troubleshooting in Surrey. Here are the most common furnace emergencies we diagnose and repair every day:
Furnace Blowing Cold Air
One of the most common calls we receive from Surrey homeowners is a furnace blowing cold air instead of warm. This can be caused by a malfunctioning thermostat, a faulty pilot light or ignition system, a clogged air filter restricting airflow, or a problem with the gas supply valve. In some cases, the blower motor runs but the burners fail to ignite, pushing unheated air through your ducts. Our technicians diagnose the exact cause and restore heat quickly.
Experiencing this? Call us nowFurnace Not Turning On
When your furnace will not turn on at all, the problem could range from a simple thermostat issue to a failed ignition system. Common causes include a tripped circuit breaker, a faulty thermocouple or flame sensor, a defective control board, or a gas valve that will not open. Before calling, check your thermostat settings and circuit breaker panel. If the furnace still will not start, our licensed gas fitters can troubleshoot and repair any furnace brand in Surrey within the hour.
Furnace not working? Get help nowStrange Noises — Banging, Screeching, Rattling
A furnace making loud noises is never normal and should be inspected immediately. Banging often indicates delayed gas ignition, where gas builds up before igniting with a small explosion — this can crack the heat exchanger. Screeching or squealing typically points to a worn blower motor bearing or slipped belt. Rattling may indicate loose panels, screws, or ductwork. Any unusual noise from your furnace warrants immediate professional attention from a qualified Surrey HVAC technician.
Hearing strange noises? Call immediatelyFurnace Short Cycling — Turning On & Off Repeatedly
Short cycling occurs when your furnace starts, runs briefly, shuts off, and then restarts the cycle. This puts extreme stress on furnace components and dramatically increases your energy bills. Common causes include a clogged air filter causing overheating, a malfunctioning flame sensor, an oversized furnace for your home, or a faulty thermostat reading incorrect temperatures. Our Surrey technicians will identify the root cause and prevent further damage to your heating system.
Furnace short cycling? We can fix itYellow or Flickering Pilot Light
A healthy furnace pilot light should burn a steady, strong blue flame. A yellow, orange, or flickering pilot light is a serious warning sign that could indicate incomplete combustion and potential carbon monoxide production. This can be caused by a dirty burner, improper gas-to-air ratio, or a cracked heat exchanger. This is a safety hazard that requires immediate inspection by a licensed Gas Fitter Class B technician. Do not ignore a yellow pilot light in your Surrey home.
Yellow pilot light? This is urgentUnexpectedly High Energy Bills
If your FortisBC gas bill has spiked without a change in usage, your furnace may be losing efficiency. Common culprits include a dirty or clogged filter forcing the system to work harder, leaking ductwork losing heated air, a failing blower motor drawing excess power, or an aging furnace that has dropped below its rated efficiency. A professional furnace tune-up and diagnostic can identify inefficiencies and potentially save you hundreds of dollars per year on heating costs in your Surrey home.
High bills? Schedule a diagnosticCarbon Monoxide Alarm Activated
This is an emergency. If your carbon monoxide detector is sounding, immediately evacuate your home, move to fresh air, and call 911. Carbon monoxide is an odourless, colourless gas that can be lethal. A cracked heat exchanger, blocked flue pipe, or malfunctioning burner in your furnace can produce CO. After emergency services clear your home, call Blue Ridge HVAC at 604-615-2212 for complete carbon monoxide testing and furnace safety inspection in Surrey.
CO alarm? Evacuate, then call usThermostat Not Responding or Reading Incorrectly
Sometimes the problem is not the furnace at all but the thermostat. A thermostat that will not respond, displays incorrect temperatures, or fails to trigger the furnace can be caused by dead batteries, loose wiring, a malfunctioning sensor, or an incompatible thermostat-furnace pairing. Our technicians troubleshoot thermostat issues as part of our comprehensive furnace diagnostic service. We also install and program smart thermostats like Nest and Ecobee for Surrey homeowners looking to upgrade their comfort and efficiency.

Emergency Furnace Safety Tips for Surrey Homeowners
If your furnace breaks down or you suspect a problem, follow these critical safety steps before our technician arrives. Your family's safety is the top priority during any heating emergency in Surrey.
Smell Gas? Evacuate Immediately
If you smell natural gas (a rotten egg odour) in your Surrey home, do not turn on any lights, use matches, or operate electrical switches. Leave your home immediately with all family members and pets. Once safely outside, call the FortisBC Emergency Line at 1-800-663-9911 and then call 911. After the area is cleared, contact Blue Ridge HVAC for a complete furnace and gas line inspection.
Check Your Thermostat Settings
Before assuming your furnace is broken, verify your thermostat is set to "HEAT" mode, the temperature is set above the current room temperature, and the fan is set to "AUTO" rather than "ON." Replace the thermostat batteries if applicable. This simple step resolves about 15% of the "furnace not working" calls we receive from Surrey homeowners.
Inspect and Replace Your Furnace Filter
A severely clogged furnace filter is one of the most common causes of furnace breakdowns and overheating in Surrey homes. Locate your furnace filter (usually in a slot near the return air duct), slide it out, and hold it up to a light. If you cannot see light through it, it is clogged. Replace it with the same size filter from any hardware store. We recommend replacing your filter every 1 to 3 months during the heating season.
Check Your Electrical Breaker Panel
Your furnace has a dedicated circuit breaker. Check your home's electrical panel for any tripped breakers — a breaker in the middle position between "ON" and "OFF" indicates a trip. Reset it by flipping it fully off and then back on. If the breaker immediately trips again, do not try to reset it — this indicates an electrical fault that requires professional attention from a licensed Surrey HVAC technician.
Call Blue Ridge HVAC for Expert Help
If the steps above do not restore your heat, or if you notice any warning signs like strange smells, unusual noises, or a yellow pilot light, call Blue Ridge HVAC at 604-615-2212.
