Is Your Furnace Malfunctioning Electronically?

Monday, January 1st, 2024

There’s been a misconception for a long time that electric furnaces use electricity, and gas furnaces use gas only. While this is mostly true, there’s actually one deep flaw in this manner of thinking. Everything in our lives uses some manner of electricity, and a gas furnace is no exception.

For instance, the majority of fuel used in your car to travel is gasoline. But to say your car doesn’t use any electricity is a huge mistake, because cars use electricity for everything from air conditioning to running the radio. Your gas furnace is very similar to this.

So, if there’s a malfunction happening in your gas furnace that requires furnace repair in Madison, WI, then you’ll want to find out if it’s an electrical problem first and foremost. For the reasons we’ll state down below, electrical problems can sometimes be the easiest and most affordable problems to get fixed.
