Even when winter is winding down and the temperatures start to rise, you might still need to use your furnace occasionally. However, after many months of use, it’s probably suffered more wear and tear than you realize.
As you continue using your furnace, watch for these common late-season problems.
A defective thermostat is one of the most common problems that require late-season furnace repairs in Columbus, OH.
The wiring that connects the thermostat to the furnace can come loose over time, resulting in a short. When this happens, the thermostat won’t be able to communicate with your furnace, and your heating system may not kick on at all.
Your HVAC technician can pinpoint the cause of the malfunction and fix the problem to get your heating system functioning properly again.
Your furnace relies on a piece known as a heat exchanger to burn fuel and generate heat. If it becomes cracked, the introduction of air can disrupt this crucial process. When fuel doesn’t combust properly, it leads to the production of carbon monoxide, a potentially deadly gas.
Keep a carbon monoxide detector close to your furnace to protect yourself and your loved ones from exposure, and call your HVAC technician for immediate service if you suspect a leak.
If you have an electric furnace, you might need late-season furnace repairs in Columbus, OH, that are specific to this type of heating system.
An electric furnace uses a sequencer that controls the order in which the electrical components startup. If the sequencer malfunctions, all of these components might start at once, overloading the system and tripping the breaker.
Your HVAC technician can determine whether the sequencer is the problem. They can also test the wiring leading to the sequencer to rule out a wiring short.
