A malfunctioning furnace during winter is a nightmare. Your heating system faces a lot of stress in harsh weather, working nonstop to keep you and your loved ones safe and warm. Read this guide if your furnace breaks or starts blowing cold air with ways to fix it!
Check the Thermostat
The first thing to inspect is your thermostat. Set the desired temperature in your home and ensure it functions correctly. Sometimes, simply adjusting the thermostat can kickstart your furnace back to life.
Inspect the Power Source
Verify that your furnace receives power. Check the circuit breaker to ensure it didn’t trip. If it has, reset it while monitoring the furnace to see if it blows warm air again.
Examine the Pilot Light
Working pilot lights are crucial. If it’s out, relight it according to your furnace’s manual. If the pilot light continues to go out, it might indicate a more significant issue requiring more comprehensive heating repair.
Replace the Air Filter
A clogged air filter can impede airflow, leading to furnace malfunctions. Regularly replace or clean your filter to maintain optimal performance. Dirty filters cause heating issues and affect indoor air quality.
Check the Gas Supply
Ensure there are no issues with the gas supply to your furnace. If you suspect a gas leak, turn off the supply immediately and contact a professional to fix the problem.
Call for Professional Help
Lastly, call the experts if the above steps don’t resolve the issue. Attempting advanced repairs without the necessary knowledge may worsen the problem. They can quickly diagnose and address problems, saving you time and money.
