Furnace making noises: Who should I call?
2/28/2019 at 6:51 AM

My furnace is making some funny noises, I’m hearing some metal scraping I think. Who should I call? Do I call hydro first? Or just go to a plumbing and heating company? Thank you.

Just an opinion said "First they would advise you and they may send someone to check it out .
Is it gas or electric?
Chown Electric fixed nephews electric furnace. "
Why would you call hydro first unless there was a gas leak? I would just call a heating company. Probably just a motor/fan issue.

Just an opinion said "Some people aren't aware of program offered by hydro

No charge labour service for problems with natural gas equipment
A no charge labour service is available to all residential and small commercial natural gas customers for problems with primary space and water heating appliances, and gas ranges.

Repairs related to gas supply and combustion are completed at no charge, except for replacement parts and these costs are applied to your monthly gas bill.
For other problems such as fan motors, fan belts or heat exchangers, which are not related to the gas supply and combustion, contact a licensed plumbing and heating dealer of your choice to complete the repairs.
When experiencing natural gas equipment problems contact:

Your local Manitoba Hydro office or call 1-888-624-9376.
We respond to all safety-related service requests regardless of the type of appliance. "
What you are saying. If I smelt gas or such I would call hydro. No different than hitting an electrical line despite a call before you dig was laid out for me. When there is metal grinding and such sounds like a fan or bearing going. Not covered under hydro.

Why not call hydro first
3/8/2019 at 8:37 PM

If your gas appliance isnt working right or have a concern about it, then hydro should be your first call. They dont charge for labour and they charge for the parts used at cost. They may not be able to fix everything for various reasons. Parts at cost and no labour charge is a pretty good start i would say.
