It’s not a good thing when one your appliances is tripping your circuit breaker, but having your furnace cause complications during the coldest Bartlesville days is pretty high on Farris Heating & Air’s list of “Bad Things.” If your furnace is tripping your circuit breaker, you may need a furnace repair.

No matter what is happening 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 generally preventable. Dirty air filters and blocked or closed vents are often the culprit—and those problems can be easily identified and fixed during a preventive maintenance visit. If that isn’t the reason for your furnace trouble, Farris Heating & Air can help you out by executing a furnace repair.
