1) INADEQUATE MAINTENANCE

 

Regular service by a registered contractor is necessary to keep your furnace in top operating condition. A professional can prevent many of the most common furnace problems. The cost of heating your home has probably risen to hundreds of thousands. Protect your investment!

 

2) DIRTY FILTERS

 

Regularly changing your furnace's filter is one of the best things you can do for your furnace's efficiency and longevity. Your furnace will work harder to circulate the air around your house if your filter is blocked. This can cause comfort problems as well as unnecessary stress to your furnace's blower.

 

3) PROBLEMS WITH PILOT OR IGNITION

 

There are many factors that can cause ignition problems. Filthy flame sensors, burners, and pilot outages can all lead to ignition problems. You could also have a gas supply problem or wear on an ignition component, such as a hot-surface ignitor/thermocouple.

 

4) FAILURES OF THE THERMOSTAT

 

There are many styles and types of thermostats. If a homeowner feels that their furnace isn’t working properly, it’s often due to a problem in the thermostat or with how it’s adjusted. It's possible to save money and avoid costly service calls by reviewing your manual and the operating instructions. Programmable thermostat batteries may need to be changed on a regular basis. A service professional can quickly diagnose the problem if the problem persists.

 

5) WEAR AND EAR MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT

 

There are many mechanical parts that make up your heating system. Your machine's performance can be affected by the natural wear and tear of these parts. For example, belts and bearings can lead to overheating, poor heating, and ventilation issues. Check for worn or damaged belts, and lubricating motors and bearings if needed.

 

6) OUT-OF-BOX FURNACE NOISES

 

While some furnace sounds are normal, others can indicate a problem with the motor. Wheezing motors or whining could be a sign that the bearings of the blower or inducer motor are failing. The engine might need to be changed in order to avoid a furnace breakdown. We can also install a new furnace. Other noises could be caused by airflow problems or dirty burners. These indicators should be heeded in all cases as they can indicate dangerous operating conditions or even a furnace malfunction.

 

7) TRIPPED BREAKERS / BLOWN FUSES

 

Overworked blowers are the most common cause of a furnace circuit breaker trip. Your blower will need to work harder to correct any obstructions to your furnace's airflow. The most common cause is a clogged filter. Your blower will have to work harder to push air through a clogged air filter. As a result, the blower's energy use increases, and the circuit breaker can trip. Before you reset your circuit breaker, make sure to check the filter and replace it with one that is clean.

 

8) COILS FROM A DIRTY CONDENSER / EVAPORATOR

 

Your air conditioner isn't cooling as well as it should because it hasn't been maintained properly. Dirt, dirt, and other debris can block your air conditioner's coils and reduce its performance. This will cause it to wear faster. You can spray the outside coil after you have turned off the power supply to the condenser. To turn off the power, you can use the electrical disconnect or the electric panel. If furnace filters aren’t changed on a regular basis, the interior evaporator coil could become clogged. Filthy evaporator coils can reduce furnace efficiency and make the system work harder. The HVAC Marietta GA very dirty coils will need to be cleaned by a qualified service specialist.
