Common Issues in a Furnace
Everyone wants to be warm and comfortable with their families especially during winters. However, there could be some complications with your cosy plan if your furnace is not exactly co-operating. However, most of the time, furnace problems can be resolved through some simple troubleshooting. Or you can always contact professionals from Vancouver furnace repair service providers.
In this discussion we will be letting you know what are some of the most common issues in a furnace and ways to solve them:
· Furnace is not producing any heat
The first thing to check is if the thermostat is set on heat. Next check your home circuit breaker. Make sure it is switched to the “on” button. Try flipping it a few times. And if that doesn’t work then you might have a wiring problem. Contact a technician from furnace repair Vancouver WA to do the job.
· Furnace is not producing enough heat
Your furnace is working, however, isn’t producing and emitting enough heat. The problem can be with the air filters. Make sure the air filter is absolutely clean and in good condition. Locate the filter and check if it is clogged. The debris and dirt in the filter make the system work harder causing it to overload thus creating problems with the functioning of the furnace.
· Furnace makes a scraping or grinding sound
This could be because of the worn-out ball bearings or some other part that needs inspection, repair, replacement, or all three. Oiling them could be an easy option however if you are unable to determine the cause of the sound, make sure to call a qualified technician from any Vancouver furnace repair service providers.
· Furnace makes a squealing and loud noise
This is when your furnace is making loud sounds while blowing air or after the thermostat reaches a certain level. This could be because of the blower belt. If you see any sort of wear and tear on the belt, replace it with a new one. And if you don’t see any damage on it, then try tightening it however don’t overdo it or else you will break it and will need a new one to fix it.
· Cracked and damaged heat exchanger
A cracked and damaged heat exchanger can cause a lot of problems and can also lead seeping of poisonous and dangerous gases from the outside like carbon monoxide. If you sense a weird odor of any kind then you may have a broken heat exchanger.
· Dirty burners
If the flames in your burner are blue that means your burner is healthy. However, if the flames are yellow, orange, or of other colours then you may have a problem. Don’t just try to google how to clean them. This could be a very risky and tricky job by taking it into your own hands.
· Problem with electric ignition or pilot control
A furnace can work with a pilot control or have an electric ignition system that doesn’t require a constant flame to burn. Problems with the electric ignition or pilot control may reduce the smooth functioning ability of the furnace. Try switching the furnace power “on” or “off”. Also, try switching the gas “on “and “off”. If it appears broken, then you would have to search in from Vancouver furnace repair and get it fixed.
· Simply due to age
Make sure to check the manufacturing year. Your furnace cannot keep on working forever. If your furnace breaks down repeatedly and requires new replacements quite often then it’s time to say goodbye to it. Investing in a new and efficient furnace will definitely save you a lot of money and effort in the long run.
