Everything You Need To Know About Cold Air From Your Furnace
A well-serviced furnace hardly faces any issues. However, sometimes your furnace system may face slight problems. The furnace blowing out cold air can be a common issue among homeowners.
Your first instinct may ask you to contact your technician for furnace services in Atascadero to fix your furnace. However, with some basic knowledge about your furnace, you can repair your furnace yourself.
A Small And Useful Guide To Refer To When Your Furnace Blows Cold Air
Damage To The Pilot Light
Your furnace’s pilot light is responsible for creating the spark that burns the natural gas or fuel your furnace uses. If the pilot light is not in proper condition, the initiating spark will not be there, and the fuel will not burn. Relight the pilot light using a lighter or burner, so the fuel can start burning to generate hot air.
Dirty Air Filters
Your furnace’s air filters ensure high indoor air quality and adequate airflow inside the system. Dirty air filters cause problems like overheating and long heating cycles. Unclean air filters can also affect your furnace’s heating efficiency, so you must clean and replace them often. You can easily locate the air filters in your furnace, and you do not need a professional for help.
A Dirty Flame Detector
If your furnace does not use a pilot light, it must use a flame detector. Dirt and dust settle on the flame detector if you do not clean it for long. If the flame detector is dirty, the heat will quickly leave your furnace, and there will be no hot air for circulation.
Low Gas Supply
If your furnace uses gas to warm your home and does not create enough hot air, the problem may be a low gas supply. If the gas supply is not as much as your furnace needs, it will not be able to generate enough hot air for your home, leading to efficiency issues. You should contact a professional for this issue instead of using DIY methods.
Clogged Condensate Lines
The condensate lines of your furnace are responsible for removing excess moisture content. Clogging’s in the condensate lines lead to problems like deactivating the burners. If the burners get deactivated, they will not burn the fuel, and your home will not get hot air. You can remove the clogging’s by pouring a mixture of chlorine and vinegar into the lines.
Damage To The Ductwork
Your ducts carry the hot air from the furnace to all parts of your home. If the ducts leak, the hot air will seep into the walls, and your rooms will receive cold air. Inspect your ducts for leakages and seal them. If you cannot seal them, contact a professional to seal your ducts and insulate your home.
Wrong Thermostat Settings
Your thermostat instructs your furnace what temperature to maintain for your comfort levels. If the thermostat has the wrong settings, like it is still in summer mode, your furnace will not work as per the season conditions. Check your thermostat for its settings or install a smart thermostat to avoid problems.
