Common Furnace Problems You Can Troubleshoot at Hom

Is your furnace refusing to turn on? 

Is it blowing cold air or running constantly without warming your home? Before you assume you need a

major repair, there are a few simple things you can check yourself.

In this mini blog, we'll cover some common winter furnace problems and a few safe troubleshooting steps you can try before calling an HVAC professional for Furnace Repair Ann Arbor.

Furnace Won't Turn On

Start by checking your thermostat. Make sure it is set to "Heat" and that the temperature is set higher than the current room temperature. If your thermostat uses batteries, replacing them may also help.

You can also check your home's electrical panel. If the furnace breaker has tripped, reset it once. If it trips again, don't continue resetting it. There may be an electrical issue that requires professional attention.

Furnace Is Blowing Cold Air

A dirty air filter can restrict airflow and interfere with your furnace's ability to heat your home. Check the filter and replace it if it is visibly dirty.

You should also check your thermostat's fan setting. If the fan is set to "On," it will continue circulating air even when the furnace isn't actively heating. Switching it to "Auto" allows the fan to run primarily during heating cycles.

If the furnace continues blowing cold air after these checks, there may be an issue with the ignition system or another internal component.
