Common Furnace Problems
Unfortunately, from time to time your furnace may encounter problems that need professional repairs. Some common issues your system can encounter include:
- Lack of maintenance: Failing to schedule regular tune-ups or maintenance on your unit can result in issues that need to be repaired.
- Dirty or clogged filters: Not replacing your filters regularly - at least every three months - can cause debris to build up, which can put a strain on your unit. This can also result in poor indoor air quality.
- Wear and tear: Your unit can develop problems as it ages, requiring more frequent repairs.
- Malfunctioning thermostat: If the temperature in your home doesn’t match the setting on the thermostat you will need to have the device inspected by a professional.
- Inadequate airflow: Disrupted airflow can cause your unit to overheat.
- Carbon monoxide leak: Problems like a cracked heat exchanger can lead to a carbon monoxide leak. This can be a very dangerous situation for your family and needs to be treated as an emergency.
