Why Your Furnace Could be Blowing Cold Air
You hear your furnace kick on and you’re anticipating a comfy blast of warm air, but instead all you feel is cool air blowing. That’s not preferable in the freezing weather!
There are a handful of reasons why your heating equipment could be putting off cold air. Winnipeg Supply Service Experts is here with some of them to help you find the culprit.
- Thermostat
It could seem silly, but the thermostat is the first place you should check. It’s the starting point for any heating technician, too. Make sure 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 isn’t really heating the air being released, thus blasting cold air. Turning it to “auto” will make sure the heating equipment only blows when it’s truly heating the air to keep your home warm and comfortable.
- Air Filter
The majority of air filters need to be changed monthly to avoid them from growing dirty and clogged. If air filters aren’t changed often enough, the clogged air filter may impede airflow into your furnace. If this occurs, it can overheat your equipment, causing the system to stop heating as a safety measure.
- Duct Work
If your duct work contains leaks, connection troubles, or was not designed correctly, it could permit warm air from the furnace to seep out. This would not only cause your heating equipment 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.
