Why Your Furnace Could be Blowing Cold Air
You listen to your heating system start up and you’re anticipating a comfortable blast of warm air, but instead all you get is cool air blowing. That’s not preferable in the freezing weather!
There are a few reasons why your furnace could be putting off cold air. Winnipeg Supply Service Experts is here with a few of them to help you locate the issue.
- Thermostat
It could feel silly, but the thermostat is where you should start. It’s the first place any heating system technician will check, too. Confirm the system is set to “auto and not “on.” If the thermostat is set to “on” then your heating system will blow continually, even when it is not actually heating the air coming out, thus putting off cold air. Flipping it to “auto” will make sure the heating equipment only blows when it’s actually heating the air to keep your home warm and comfy.
- Air Filter
Typically air filters need to be changed monthly to prevent them from becoming dirty and clogged. If they aren’t replaced often enough, the clogged air filter may obstruct airflow into your heating system. If this occurs, it can overheat your system, causing the equipment to stop heating as a safeguard.
- Duct Work
If your duct work contains leaks, connection troubles, or was not designed properly, it could allow warm air from the heating equipment to seep out. This would not only cause your furnace to give off cold air, it could seriously run up your heating bills since your heating system is heating non-living space, and will have to work overtime to keep your home at the desired temperature.
There are several other reasons that your heating equipment could produce cold air.
