There’s nothing worse than coming home in the middle of winter to find your house freezing cold and your furnace not turning on. Sometimes, the problem is as simple as a blown fuse, but if your unit is older or hasn’t had regular maintenance, it could be a costly repair waiting to happen.
Understanding common furnace issues and how to prevent them can help ensure your home stays warm and cozy all winter long.
If your furnace isn’t running, the problem likely lies within the heat source, distribution system, or thermostat.
✔️ No power? – Your furnace may have lost its power source, meaning fuel isn’t reaching the unit or isn’t igniting.
✔️ No warm air? – The blower or distribution system may not be working properly.
✔️ Furnace turns on and off repeatedly? – A faulty thermostat or control may be the issue.
✔️ Furnace not responding to temperature changes? – Your thermostat may need repair or replacement.
Furnaces are easy to maintain—with a few simple steps, you can ensure maximum efficiency and a longer lifespan.
✔️ Change filters regularly – Dirty filters restrict airflow and reduce efficiency.
✔️ Schedule a yearly professional cleaning – Keeps internal components working properly.
✔️ Get routine duct cleaning – Helps improve airflow and indoor air quality.
Taking these preventative measures can help avoid costly repairs and emergency breakdowns.
