During winter, furnace heating problems are very common in Houston.
If your furnace starts then shuts off, won’t produce heat, or keeps failing ignition, the issue is often caused by a blocked vent or a failed inducer fan.

Real Furnace Repair Case: 3 Dead Birds Inside the Inducer Fan

In a recent Houston AC repair service call, the homeowner reported no heat and repeated furnace shutdowns.
After inspection, we found three dead birds stuck inside the furnace inducer fan.

The cause:

  • No vent cap or protection on the flue

  • Birds entered the vent pipe and were pulled into the inducer fan

  • Exhaust airflow was blocked, triggering furnace safety shutdown

This is a real and dangerous furnace problem we see frequently in Houston.

Why Inducer Fan & Vent Blockage Is Dangerous

  • Exhaust gases cannot vent properly

  • Furnace shuts down for safety

  • Risk of carbon monoxide (CO) buildup

  • Possible damage to the inducer fan, control board, and heat exchanger

This issue should never be ignored.

Signs You May Have This Problem

  • Furnace turns on then shuts off

  • No heat even when thermostat is calling

  • Unusual noise from the furnace

  • Repeated ignition failures
