Keeping a furnace running efficiently through proper maintenance is important as it can keep the system from breaking down prematurely, while also keeping costs as low as possible. Even though many issues require the intervention of a professional to be resolved, it is possible to fix some problems without having to call a professional. Equipped with the right knowledge, and Advanpro as backup, keeping one’s furnace up and running is quite a simple affair.
One of the most common issues furnace owners face is a furnace that produces no heat even when active. This can be a frustrating problem but there a number of steps that people can take before contacting a professional. Often, the issue is that the thermostat is set to cold instead of hot and the owner hasn’t noticed it. When the furnace produces no heat, making sure the thermostat is switched to the right setting can fix the whole problem.
Sometimes the gas valve is set to the Off position or the pilot light is simply not working. Checking both of these to ensure they are working can save the trouble of locating and bringing in a professional. An overloaded furnace motor can also lead to no heat being produced and can be fixed by resetting the system. Lastly, checking that the fuse or breaker that powers the thermostat is On and not blown can fix the issue. If it is blown, replacing it is a relatively easy endeavor.
Another extremely common issue faced by furnace owners is a malfunctioning thermostat. There are a number of DIY options for fixing a broken thermostat, and one of the simplest is turning it off and then cleaning the inside with a soft brush or vacuum to remove any dirt particles that might be hindering its performance. Corrosion may also be a problem, but it can easily be solved using an electronic contact cleaner and then changing the battery.
Faulty pilot lights are a third problem that many furnace owners face. A loose or faulty thermocouple can lead to a furnace pilot light constantly going out. Tightening it can fix the issue. A clogged orifice may also present a problem and can easily be cleared with a piece of wire. Low settings are another possible cause of pilot light failure and this can be fixed by adjusting the pilot light’s settings to an appropriate level.
There are a number of other issues that furnace owners often face that can be fixed without professional intervention. Those looking for more information on the issues mentioned here, along with broken fans, air flow problems, and clogged filters along with how to deal with them may visit the Advanpro Furnace Repairs website to learn more.
Advanpro offers regular furnace tune ups to help avoid any of the above issues. Regular tune ups ensure that any home furnace is running efficiently, making them unlikely to break down any time soon. The company warns that even a single faulty part can decrease the efficiency of a system or even lead to a complete breakdown. Annual tune-ups involve inspections and general maintenance tasks like cleaning to ensure that potential future problems never occur. They keep the system running as efficiently as possible while also ensuring that they function safely.
Furnace owners are encouraged to learn as much as they can related to their furnace, from its basic parts to the problems it often faces, as well as its ideal level of efficiency. This will allow owners to maintain and clean their furnaces without running into any insurmountable issues—and even have a better idea when it might actually be time to call a professional.
