Halloween is coming up, which means it’s finally starting to feel like Fall in El Paso. When you finally decide to turn on your furnace, it’s important to have the full confidence that your furnace is in good working order. A faulty or damaged furnace can lead to costly, and sometimes fatal consequences. But how do you know if you need furnace repair? Sometimes the damage start off so minor it can be a while before you realize you need professional help. By the time you realize your furnace is on the fritz, it can mean major repairs, so it’s better to know early on if you need repair services. The best way to know if your furnace needs service is to read up on the most common reasons furnaces break down.
We don’t often think about how our HVAC is an appliance. Some people just consider it as part of the house, but in reality it is an appliance that needs to be maintained a lot more than you realize. A furnace is made up of many parts that need to work together to create the temperature control you rely on. Ideally, your furnace should be tuned up twice a year- once when you are ready to turn it on, and once before you shut it off for the season.
Think about it- your filters are taking all the gunk out of the air, from allergens and pet hair to other types of pollution. Constantly. Over and over. After a short while, they will be dirty. They will get clogged. In short, this is one aspect of your furnace that really needs to be addressed. Dirty or clogged filters can quickly affect the efficiency of your HVAC and create a fire hazard in your home.
Your furnace depends on a pilot/ignition light to warm up and start working. If this is damaged, it directly causes damage to your thermostat. It can also be a potential danger for carbon monoxide poisoning.
As we stated earlier, your furnace is a collection of parts working together towards one goal. That means that the longer you have your furnace, the longer those same parts have been working towards keeping you warm. Eventually, even the best mechanical parts will wear down. If your furnace is on the older side, it’s important to make sure all these parts are still in working condition. If one part wears down or breaks, it can and will affect the way the whole system works.
