worried about problems with ac unitsCommon Signs of an Issue with Your Heating System

The Furnace is Blowing Cold Air

You woke up, and your heater stopped working or is blowing cold air. Furnaces blowing cold air is one of the most common issues with several potential culprits:

  • The tank might be empty if you have a furnace that runs off fuel oil, such as propane.
  • An issue with the blower fan or the pilot light.

Do not try to take on heating repairs or pursue heating solutions on your own if your heater is blowing cold air. There are so many potential causes that it can be challenging to diagnose the problem if you are not a trained professional.

Heaters are Making Strange Noises

Are there strange sounds coming from your otherwise quiet heater? Often, the noise can help your HVAC technician diagnose the problem:

  • A noticeable “whining” noise, chances are the issue is a dirty burner or a faulty blower motor.
  • A broken heater capacitor or a faulty blower motor often produces a “buzzing” or “humming” sound.

Because heaters and HVAC systems can make such a wide variety of noises, the final diagnosis should be left to a professional heating and air conditioning technician.

home furnace iconMy Furnace Isn’t Working Properly; What Should I Do?

You want a warm home during those chilly Los Angeles nights, but your furnace isn’t working. Don’t freak out! Understand that most repairs are simple, straightforward, and can be handled in a matter of hours. Here is a step-by-step, simple guide to help you understand what to do if your heater isn’t working properly:

Check the Thermostat

First and foremost, if the heater is not working, and you are worried about a costly furnace repair, is to check the thermostat. More often than not, the issue is that your thermostat becomes loose or the batteries are dead. Checking the batteries in the thermostat is a simple and easy way to save money on an unnecessary heater repair.

Clean or Swap Out Your Air Filters

The next simple fix is to replace or clean the air filter. For your furnace to produce heat, proper airflow is required. A filter that is clogged or damaged and needs to be replaced or cleaned does not allow that airflow to circulate through the heater.

Replace or clean the filters according to the manufacturer’s directions. Some filters can be cleaned under a running faucet, while others need to be replaced monthly.

Check the Breaker

Another common reason for a malfunctioning heater is a tripped breaker. Locate the breaker box, which is typically in the basement or a utility closet. Flip the breaker that is connected to the heater into the “On” position. If the heat doesn’t come back on, it’s time to contact professional heating and air conditioning technicians and request service!

The most effective way to avoid contacting a heating and air conditioning tech for a potentially costly repair is with routine maintenance of your HVAC system. Here are a few very simple things you can do as a homeowner to keep your furnace is in perfect working order:

Periodically Clean Your Ductwork

Damaged or clogged ductwork not only impacts the efficiency of your unit, but it also negatively impacts your home’s indoor air quality. Poor air quality can dramatically impact your health, especially the health of any family members with asthma or chronic respiratory illnesses.
