FURNACE DOESN’T GET HOT ENOUGH.
Whenever we hear this complaint we know what the problem is almost right away. There are only a few different things that could be causing a furnace to have trouble making your space warm enough.
FURNACE IS NOT LARGE ENOUGH
The first possibility is that your furnace is not large enough or efficient enough to heat the size of your home. When your furnace was installed, it may have worked fine. However, over time, the system became overworked and decreasing its efficiency.
Unfortunately, the only solution to this problem is to replace the unit with a larger, more efficient, unit. One of our expert HVAC technicians will diagnose the problem and recommend the right unit for your home or space.
CLOGGED FURNACE
The other problem you might be experiencing is a clogged furnace filter. Over time, the filter collected dust, dirt, hair, and other debris. The clogged filter then prevents air from flowing between your furnace and the rest of your home, which reduces the efficiency of your unit.
To solve this problem, an HVAC technician will recommend replacing all of your filters and possibly cleaning your air ducts to locate and remove any other clogs. The technician may also recommend a quick tune-up on your furnace to rule-out any other problems your furnace might be experiencing.
FURNACE ISN’T HEATING UP AT ALL
Unfortunately, if you don’t catch the previous problems in time, it can cause your furnace to stop working altogether. There are other causes of a furnace not heating up at all too.
THERMOSTAT MALFUNCTION
If your thermostat is malfunctioning, it may not be telling your furnace to turn on and heat your home. There may not be anything wrong with your furnace at all if your thermostat is to blame.
This problem is pretty easy to fix. An HVAC technician will determine what exactly is going wrong with your thermostat. Next, they will determine if it is fixable or if the problem will require a new thermostat. If you need a new thermostat, they will recommend the right one for your needs and the size of your space.
PILOT LIGHT PROBLEM
If your pilot light is blown out, or if there is another problem with lighting your pilot light, your furnace will not be able to generate any heat. You may notice this problem almost immediately.
An HVAC technician will need to determine why your pilot light is not working and find a solution. Call First Class HVAC if you suspect you have a problem with the pilot light on your furnace.
