Yes, it can be. A common culprit for short cycling is a clogged condensate drain line, which is part of your high-efficiency furnace's plumbing system. When this drain clogs, a safety switch shuts the furnace off to prevent water damage. At B & D, our plumbing and HVAC expertise allows us to quickly diagnose and clear these clogs, check the condensate pump if you have one, and get your furnace running smoothly and safely again.

Installing a hot water recirculation pump provides instant hot water to your faucets, reducing water waste and the energy used to reheat water sitting in pipes. This is especially helpful during cold Minnetonka winters, as it can reduce the strain on your water heater. Our team at B & D can assess your home's layout, recommend the right system, and handle a professional installation to improve comfort and efficiency throughout your plumbing system.

First, locate the white PVC pipe exiting your furnace. If you see water pooling around its base or in the drain pan, it's likely clogged. For safety, turn off the furnace's power. You can try gently vacuuming the drain line's exterior opening. However, these clogs often require professional tools and knowledge to clear completely and to ensure the drain trap and line are intact. B & D's technicians are trained to resolve this common local issue quickly during a plumbing inspection or HVAC service call.
