A Van Buren homeowner called because the floor furnace would not light. A floor furnace sits in the crawl space under the house and sends heat straight up through a grate in the floor.
What Our Technician Found
Our technician measured the floor grate opening, then went under the house to check the furnace itself. He traced the problem to the gas valve (the part that controls the flow of gas to the burner). It needed to be replaced.
What We Completed
- Checked the floor furnace from inside the house and from the crawl space.
- Tested the burner, pilot and gas valve.
- Found the gas valve needed to be replaced.
- Went over what we found with the homeowner.
The Result
The homeowner knows exactly which part the furnace needs. Learn more about our furnace repair.
What Homeowners Can Learn From This Job
- Floor furnaces are still common in older homes. They need checks just like any other furnace.
- Keep the floor grate clear. Rugs and furniture block the heat.
- Gas parts are a job for a trained technician. A gas valve is not a part to guess on.
