Common Furnace Problems
Occasionally, your furnace will encounter problems that will require repairs.
Some of the most common problems that will require a heating contractor to fix can include:
- Lack of Maintenance: Not scheduling a tune-up at least once a year can lead to numerous issues with your unit.
- Dirty or Clogged Filters: Failing to replace your filters regularly – at least every three months – can cause debris to build up, which can put a strain on your unit and result in poor indoor air quality.
- Wear and Tear: As your unit ages it will develop issues that will require more frequent repairs.
- Malfunctioning Thermostat: If the temperature in your home doesn’t match the setting on the thermostat it should be inspected by a contractor.
- Inadaquete Air Flow: Disrupted airflow can cause your unit to overheat.
- Carbon Monoxide Leak: A carbon monoxide leak is one of the most serious issues you can encounter with your unit. This can be caused by a crack in the heat exchanger. If you suspect you have a carbon monoxide leak, you should evacuate the property immediately and call for professional help.
