Best Technicians in Lawton OK for Furnaces and Service

When the temperatures in Lawton drop below freezing, the last thing you want is for your furnace to stop working. That’s what happened to some of our Lawton customers. Their heater unexpectedly stopped, so they gave Powers a call. Furnaces and service for heating systems are our specialties so we’re happy to handle calls like this. After a close inspection, our tech determined that the blower relay switch had burned out. After replacing it with a new one, the furnace worked great. Our technician also gave a thorough look over the rest of the system to ensure that no other problems would arise in the near future.

How a blower motor works

Blower motors are the workhorses of furnaces. Service and maintenance to them is imperative to keep your furnace running at peak efficiency. The blower motor is what pushes all of the air through the entire heating or cooling system of your home. The blower relay switch is the switch that conducts power to the motor, so it is always switching between on and off. Because of this constant action, the relay eventually wears out.

Symptoms of blower motor relay switch failure

It’s not always easy to determine when the blower relay switch has worn out. The first obvious symptom is that the blower motor itself is not working. If the blower relay switch has failed, there is not way it can turn “on” to transmit power to the motor, so the motor stops working.

Blown fuses in the blower motor are another sign of a failed blower motor relay switch. Because the job of the blower relay switch is to regulate and distribute electricity, that lack of regulation may cause a blower motor fuse to blow.
