Questions people ask first

My Cicero furnace runs for a minute and stops. Can I restart it?

No. A furnace that shuts itself off is doing it on purpose, so leave it off, do not reset or relight it, and book the repair. With a gas smell or an alarm sounding, walk out first and call 911 or the gas utility from outside.

Could snow on the vent really stop a furnace in Cicero?

A buried or iced intake or exhaust pipe can trip a furnace off. Clearing visible snow from the pipe ends is reasonable, but if it still will not run, the contractor should look at it.

Gas smell or CO alarm? Leave first.

Signs it fits a house in Cicero

  • It lights, then drops out

    A gas furnace that fires and then shuts down is often responding to a flame it could not confirm. Note how many seconds it runs before it quits and pass that on to the technician.

  • Water or white crust at the trap

    High-efficiency furnaces drain acidic condensate. A damp floor, a full drain hose or crusty residue near the trap suggests the drain path is partly blocked.

  • Drifted snow against the siding

    Plastic intake and exhaust pipes leave the wall low down. If the furnace goes quiet after a storm, snow over those pipes can be the whole story.

Furnace Breakdown Repair in Cicero

Cicero's housing runs young. With a median construction year of 1980, some of the town's gas furnaces are likely to be condensing models, and those carry two features that older furnaces do not: a condensate drain and a plastic vent pipe that exits through the wall. Both are where winter trouble starts.

New York's residential code puts the bottom of a mechanical draft vent terminal at least 12 inches above finished ground. A through-the-wall direct-vent terminal has its own clearances of 6 to 12 inches. Syracuse's airport normals put annual snowfall at 123.8 inches, including 13.4 days with 3 inches or more, and a vent that is clear in October can be buried by January. The airport is the nearest long weather record to Cicero.

The same code requires an auxiliary drain pan under a condensing furnace, unless the furnace shuts itself down when its drain stops. A furnace that quits when its drain clogs may be doing what it was built to do, and the repair is clearing the drain, not overriding the shutdown.

The local line

The town permit office lists installing or replacing a vent or other heat producing device as permit work, so a repair that changes the vent is a fair question for the contractor.
