When to call a professional to repair your Tempstar furnace

Despite the reliability of a Tempstar furnace, you will inevitably come to a time when your unit starts to experience some performance issues. When this happens, it can be tough to know whether to attempt a repair on your own or to contact a trained HVAC technician.

Should your furnace stop producing heat entirely, begin to leak or drip, or start making previously unheard noises, these issues are typically symptomatic of a broken internal component that will require professional attention.
