It’s not a good thing when one your appliances is tripping your circuit breaker, but having your furnace cause difficulties throughout the coldest New Castle days is pretty high on Central Heating & Plumbing’s list of “Bad Things.” If your furnace is tripping your circuit breaker, there is a chance you need a furnace repair. Central Heating & Plumbing can help you identify what the exact problem is, but here are some reasons we typically see: overworked furnaces, short circuits and wiring problems. It doesn’t matter what is taking place with your furnace, if your circuit breaker is tripping, you need to call in a qualified technician.
Overworked Furnaces
Furnaces become overworked for a number of reasons, but they’re typically preventable. Dirty air filters and blocked or closed vents are often responsible—and those problems can be easily identified and resolved during a preventive maintenance visit. If those are not responsible for your furnace trouble, Central Heating & Plumbing can help you out by performing a furnace repair.
Short Circuits
If you have a short circuit in your furnace, it will trip the breaker promptly when you turn it on. If you think you have a short circuit in your furnace, call Central Heating & Plumbing right away for a furnace repair. Short circuits can be very dangerous, causing fires or other serious damages.

No matter how they got that way, loose wires can cause your furnace to overheat and trip your circuit.
