Hi All -

Yes, the age of the heating systems are certainly worthy of consideration, but these are not one time occurrences and it appears the units are having to be re-set or worked on repeatedly. The fact that at least 6 people have expressed problems over the last week is reason for concern that the cause may not be isolated to the respective units.

The number for Certified Heating is 847-966-1155.
Robin,
What type of issue are you having and what type of work has been performed.
Like anything mechanical there are several pieces that can fail. The most common are pressure switches, ignitors and inducers. All three can cost about $150 - $300 per trip.
Other factors that can play a role are:
- Blower motors
- Circuit board for controls
Given our units are 10 years old and the mounts are horizontal it is not surprising that a number of people have been and will see issues. It is just that time, plus I have been told by numerous individuals that horizontally mounted units can be more problematic in the long run.
That said I have had similar issues with both vertically mounted systems and horizontal systems so it kind of is what it is. Pieces wear out...that is just a fact.
Anywho...hopefully certified can help.
