Filter
A very dirty filter chokes airflow and overheats the motor.
HVAC blower not moving air?
If the furnace or AC runs but little or no air comes out of the vents, the blower motor or its capacitor may have failed. Turn the system off and call 833-877-1717. RepairNowUSA connects the request. An independent HVAC technician does the repair.
Am I in the right place?Yes for no or weak airflow from all vents, a humming indoor unit, or squealing or grinding from the furnace or air handler.
Is this urgent?Yes in extreme heat or cold. A furnace running without its blower can overheat. If you smell gas, leave the building without switching anything on or off and call the gas utility or 911 from outside. If a carbon monoxide alarm sounds, get everyone out and call 911.
What do I do next?Turn the system off and call 833-877-1717.
One room only: air duct repair. Whole indoor unit: air handler repair.

Call 833-877-1717Blower motor questions
Why is no air coming out of my vents?
A failed blower motor or capacitor, a control problem, or a frozen coil blocking airflow.
Can I call at night?
Yes. You can call 833-877-1717 at any time, including nights, weekends and holidays. Whether an independent provider can come out right away depends on your ZIP code, the time and provider capacity, so availability is not guaranteed.
Is a squealing furnace dangerous?
It usually signals a failing motor or bearing. Turn it off and have it checked before it stops.
Do providers work on all brands?
Independent HVAC providers commonly work on major brands such as Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Rheem, Goodman, Bryant and York. Tell RepairNowUSA the brand on the call. RepairNowUSA is not affiliated with or authorized by any manufacturer, and warranty work may need the manufacturer’s own network.
