8 Most Common Home Furnace Problems

The most common home furnace problems.

April 4, 2022

The furnace is your home’s key heating system. It produces heat and can keep you warm on those cold winter nights when the power goes out, but what happens if it breaks? You’ll be left with no warmth at all! This article will teach how common problems affect HVAC systems so that hopefully we won’t have any customers asking for local repairs too soon (or ever).

The furnace is not Working—At All

The first thing you should do if your furnace is shut down, even though it may seem basic. Check and make sure that the thermostat setting on ‘heat’ with a circuit breaker or fuse intact for power supply as well in case there was an interruption from either source before calling La Mirada’s finest heating repair company!

Your furnace is not only an essential part of your house, it’s also very important to safety. If you have lost the access panel for any reason be sure that this problem gets fixed as soon possible because if there are no doors on your unit then they will just go out whenever someone removes them – which could cause major problems with carbon monoxide levels in some cases!

Not Enough Heat is Being Produced

The furnace is working, but you are still feeling cold. What could be the reason?

The furnace is not producing enough heat to make indoor temperatures cozier. Check your air filters for any debris or have them inspected from heating repair services because clogged filters are the leading problem of inefficient Furnace operation that leads towards subpar comfort levels indoors!

The Color of the Flame

A healthy furnace will have a blue flame, while an unhealthy furnace will have a yellow or orange flame. If you notice that the color of your furnace’s flame has changed, it’s important to call a professional for help. The Comfort Time team is highly trained and experienced in diagnosing and repairing furnace problems. We’re always here to help, so please don’t hesitate to give us a call.

A dirty or rusting burner can affect the efficiency of your HVAC furnace. An even, blue glow means that it’s working properly and producing sufficient heat while more magnificent yellow-golden tints indicate maintenance needs to be done on any reputable company’s service record!

No Air is Blowing from the Furnace

Check through inspection window whether or not the blower is working. Many furnaces are installed with flashing lights to indicate a fault (‘green’ for normal functioning and ‘red’ for failure) in the blower.

If you do not understand what’s going on there, then don’t exhaust yourself and schedule a visit from an experienced heating repair experts to deal with it.

Gas supply Issue

Maybe the furnace and all of its components are in their best condition, but not getting enough fuel to run. For that matter, you must check the gas supply line all through its length for any leaks and valve issues, i.e., from the burner to the primary inlet.

A quivering burner pilot is an indication that your furnace is not getting enough gas supply. Call for professional help, and they can guide you better whether it’s a fault in the furnace or you have to call your gas utility company.

No matter how well-maintained a furnace is, there comes a time when it can’t work to its full capacity. Experts from a local heating repair company can also help you estimate the remaining service life of the furnace so that you can have it replaced in time.
