Notes from Clareview service calls
Clareview was built in the 1970s and 80s, and the heating in most homes is the same combination: a second- or third-generation furnace on the original ductwork, a hot water tank replaced at least once, and in many houses a central AC unit added years later. The failure that comes up most in homes like these is airflow. A clogged filter plus a return that was always on the small side makes the furnace overheat, the limit switch trips, and the burners shut off while the blower keeps running. The homeowner hears the fan and feels cool air at the registers. Changing the filter solves more of these than anything else, and it costs only the filter.
Never reset or bypass a limit switch yourself; if it keeps tripping with a clean filter, something else is wrong and needs a technician. On older PSC blowers the run capacitor is a common failure, typically $175 to $350 in Edmonton, and a failing blower motor itself runs $600 to $1,200, both confirmed in writing before any work starts. If your central AC is from the same era, the same weak return makes its coil freeze in summer. A Clareview home replacing its AC is a good time to ask about a heat pump instead.

Before We Arrive
Four Things Worth Doing First
Some no-heat calls end at step one. The rest go faster when we know what the furnace did before it stopped.
Step 1: Check the Basics
Thermostat set to heat and above room temperature, batteries, the furnace switch and breaker, and a filter that isn't grey and bowed.
Step 2: Look at the Vents
From outside, find the two white PVC pipes. Snow drifted over them or a ring of frost inside is the most common cold-snap shutdown.
Step 3: Read the Blink Code
Count the flashes on the board through the sight glass on the blower door. The chart is inside the door. It saves diagnostic time.
Step 4: Send the Request
Community, furnace age if you know it, what it's doing and the blink code. We reply with an arrival window for Clareview.
