What Are the Most Common Furnace Issues?
Although there are many things that can go wrong with a furnace, there are some problems that come up more frequently than others. Here are some common furnace problems you might experience this winter:
Clogged Air Filter
A clogged filter is one of the leading causes of breakdowns for both furnaces and air conditioners. When your filter is clogged, your furnace has to work much harder than usual because the filter will block your system’s airflow. Check and/or change your air filter every month throughout the heating season.
Poor Airflow
A clogged air filter is one of the most common explanations for poor airflow. Other explanations include leaks in your ductwork, mechanical problems with your air handler and/or closed air vents. If you’ve checked to ensure that your filter is clean and all of your air registers are open, contact us so that we can determine what’s causing your airflow issues.
Cracked Heat Exchanger
Over time, cracks can develop in your furnace’s heat exchanger. This is a dangerous problem because the cracks can allow carbon monoxide to seep into your home’s air. We look for heat exchanger cracks during furnace tune ups (as you’ll see below), but you should also contact us to have your system inspected if your carbon monoxide detector is giving you warnings.
Pilot Light or Ignition Issues
If your furnace is not turning on at all, one common explanation is that you are having issues with your pilot light or electronic ignition. Check to see if the flame is still burning, and relight it if it is out. If your pilot light continues to go out, contact us so we can inspect it. If you have a newer system with electronic ignition and your furnace’s burners are not igniting, give us a call so we can inspect the ignition and diagnose the problem.
Thermostat Not Working Properly
Your thermostat is responsible for telling your furnace when to turn on and off. So even if your heating system is working great, a faulty thermostat can completely mess with your home’s temperature levels. One way to avoid this is to replace the batteries in your thermostat in order to ensure it has enough power. In addition, you may need to contact Sanborn’s to have your thermostat’s calibrations checked.
General System Malfunctioning
When any single part of your furnace stops working, it can create a domino effect that causes other parts of your system to malfunction as well. You might notice that your furnace is short cycling, making noises, smelling funny or not producing enough heat. If you encounter issues like these, your best bet is to have your furnace professionally inspected by Sanborn’s.
