A furnace problem always seems to arise when you need it most, like on a frigid winter day. Heating your home plays an important role in comfort, so it's important to identify and correct furnace problems as soon as possible. A minor problem with your furnace can turn into a major repair if strange noises or smells are coming from it, or if something doesn't feel right with your home's air quality. Despite obvious problems, many homeowners choose to continue using their furnaces, but this only makes things worse in the future. Any issue with your furnace should be identified and corrected as soon as possible. Signs of a failing furnace include low heating temperatures, low indoor air quality, frequent cycling, irregular airflow, and inconsistent temperatures. Five reasons for an underperforming furnace are dirty or clogged filters, faulty or incompatible thermostats, blower motor failure, pilot light failure, and fuel supply problems. Filters on furnaces protect your home from dust, pollen, and other airborne particulates, but they also help keep your furnace working efficiently. Filters that become too dirty to allow proper airflow can reduce your furnace's efficiency.

Gas-fueled furnaces cannot produce heat if the pilot light or electrical ignition system fails This is a simple fix. Maintaining…

Perhaps your furnace tries to run for a few seconds before it shuts off suddenly, pilot and all. You may panic in this situation. Nobody wants to spend thousands of dollars on a new furnace. Good news may be on the way. There may be a simple fix that is not only inexpensive but also one that you can diagnose on your own. Professional HVAC technicians receive most furnace repair calls of this kind that involve a simple, basic flame sensor cleaning. Flame sensors are a fundamental part of your furnace. It's located on the burner assembly and is a thin metallic rod. In the furnace, it sits just in front of the pilot flame and is usually bent. Whenever the furnace kicks on, the gas valve opens and gas is fired into the combustion chamber, where the pilot light or ignitor lights the burners. When the gas valve is open, the sensor confirms there is a fire. Without it, you could lose your pilot light and fill your house with dangerous gas. Gas can build up and be deadly for many reasons, including gas poisoning and explosions. The flame sensor is a safety measure. It automatically shuts down everything when it doesn't detect a flame when the gas is on. In modern units, this shutdown can happen up to three times before the system locks out and sits for an hour before it tries again. This lets any gas buildup dissipate. As a result, if there is a flame but the sensor cannot detect it, it can result in being without heat for an hour, and even worse, causes wear and tear on other parts of your furnace. It will reduce efficiency and result in more expensive repairs. You can easily detect when your flame sensor is fouled, corroded, or otherwise damaged. Watch for your gas burners to light up and go out after a few seconds. A sensor issue is most likely to cause this. Second, if you see soot covering the sensor tip, it's time to clean it. If the tip is black, it's time for service. If you see cracked porcelain on the sensor casing, you will need to replace it. It prevents the sensor from being grounded on the bracket of the furnace by acting as an insulator. Cleaning a furnace flame sensor is a multi-step process that's not difficult but can be very exact. If you aren't sure about any aspect of it, you should probably consult a professional.

With older homes, it is also important to consider the electrical system’s condition. If you want it to work with your new system, it must be up to code. You need to consider the number and condition of windows when selecting the size of the unit. But that's only part of the window information you need. Their location in your house is also important. When your windows receive a lot of sunlight throughout the day, more heat enters your home. During the summer months, the cooling system will work harder to maintain a comfortable temperature, but the furnace requires less energy during the winter months. The type of window also affects how much energy your HVAC system consumes. Windows with single panes aren't as effective at insulating as windows with double or triple panes. Window treatments also factor into the calculations. Your home's location determines how much work your HVAC system has to do. You may be able to keep your home cooler in the summer if you have some shade that blocks some of the suns. In order to maximize the efficiency of an HVAC system, all air leaks should be addressed and remedied. Installing weatherstripping around windows and doors will help seal them effectively. A home's insulation plays a big role in maintaining a comfortable temperature. The R-value of your home should also be considered. When the ductwork is installed, additional insulation can be added.
