Common Furnace Problems and How to Address Them
Whether in a residential or commercial application, furnaces often face the same basic issues. By recognizing the signs of needed furnace repair, you can take proactive measures to prevent them. Below are ten of the most common furnace problems we encounter, along with advice on how to repair them and prevent future issues.
Lack of Maintenance
Regular maintenance is key to avoiding unexpected furnace problems and breakdowns. Schedule annual furnace maintenance and inspections to ensure your furnace runs efficiently and reliably.
Furnace Doesn’t Heat at All
If your furnace isn’t heating, the issue could be with the thermostat setting, power supply, gas line, or pilot light. Check these components to identify the source of the problem.
Dirty Filters
Dirty or clogged air filters restrict airflow, causing the furnace to work harder to circulate air. In some cases, a clogged filter can damage the switch that controls the fan. Regularly replace or clean filters to maintain optimal performance.
Furnace Doesn’t Heat Enough
A furnace that doesn’t produce enough heat might have a clogged filter or be incorrectly sized for the space it’s heating. Ensure your furnace is appropriately sized and maintain clean filters.
Wear and Tear
Normal wear and tear can lead to airflow problems, heat control issues, and even overheating. Regular inspections can help identify and address these issues before they cause significant damage.
Frequent Cycling
If your furnace frequently switches between “On” and “Off” modes, it may indicate a clogged filter, improper airflow, or a bad thermostat setting. Check these components to ensure they are functioning correctly.
Malfunctioning Thermostat
A faulty thermostat can cause the fan to run improperly, leading to uncomfortable temperature levels. Inspect and, if necessary, replace the thermostat to restore proper operation.
Blower Continuously Runs
If the blower is running continuously, there may be an issue with the limit switch. This problem typically requires professional diagnosis and replacement of the switch.
Furnace is Too Noisy
Unusual noises such as rumbling, squeaking, or rattling can indicate mechanical problems, reduced airflow, or a clogged burner. Investigate the source of the noise and address any underlying issues.
Electric Ignition or Pilot Problems
A faulty ignition or pilot light can make heating your home or commercial space difficult. Issues with the thermocouple, drafts, or clogs can result in an unlit pilot light. Inspect these components and repair or replace them as necessary to ensure proper furnace operation.
