As the seasons change, the more you feel the colder air blowing outside. And … inside your home? If your gas furnace is blowing cold air and giving a chill to your Huffman home, it’s time to contact Air Houston Mechanical LLC. Once in a while, a lack of warm air from your gas furnace calls for a major repair, but often it can be an easy fix. Here are some of the main reasons your gas furnace might be blowing cold air instead of keeping your home toasty.
Your furnace could be overheating
If you haven’t had routine maintenance completed on your gas furnace for some time and you’ve overlooked changing your air filter, either could indicate why your furnace is blowing cool air. A dirty air filter can prevent air from flowing freely through your furnace. If this occurs, the furnace could overheat and cause the burner to shut down.
Your pilot light may have gone out
A lack of warm air from your gas furnace can probably be related to something as simple as a pilot light that’s gone out. It’s possible, particularly with older systems, for a breeze to put out a pilot light. Other causes of an extinguished pilot light are faulty gas valves or a faulty thermocouple.
Your furnace is dirty
Just as a dirty air filter can mean problems for your gas furnace, so can other furnace components if they aren’t correctly cleaned. A dirty gas burner or flame sensor could cause your furnace to fight to stay lit and not be able to bring warmth to your home.
Your ducts may not be properly sealed
If your ducts aren’t properly sealed or if they have any cracks or holes in them, you could be losing a lot of heated air before it can get to the vents.
