Why Is My Furnace Blowing Cold Air?

A furnace blowing cold air can be caused by a faulty thermostat, a clogged air filter, or an issue with the ignition system. If the pilot light is out or the burners are dirty, your furnace may fail to produce heat properly. A professional inspection can identify the issue and restore warm air to your home.

What Should I Do If My Furnace Won’t Turn On?

First, check your thermostat settings, circuit breaker, and air filter to rule out simple fixes. If the furnace still won’t start, it could be due to a faulty ignition system, a broken blower motor, or an electrical issue. A trained technician can diagnose the problem and get your furnace running again.

How Can I Tell If My Furnace Needs a Repair?

Signs of furnace trouble include uneven heating, strange noises, frequent cycling, or an unexplained increase in energy bills. If you notice weak airflow, cold spots, or unusual odors, your system may need servicing. Addressing small issues early can prevent costly breakdowns and extend the life of your furnace.

Why Does My Furnace Keep Shutting Off?

A furnace that turns off too frequently may have a clogged air filter, a malfunctioning thermostat, or an overheating issue. Short cycling can reduce efficiency and put extra strain on the system. A professional tune-up can help resolve the issue and keep your furnace running smoothly.

What Causes a Burning Smell When I Turn On My Furnace?

A burning smell when starting your furnace is often due to dust buildup burning off the heating elements. This smell should fade after a few hours, but if it persists, it could indicate an electrical issue or overheating. Regular maintenance helps prevent odors and ensures safe furnace operation.

Can a Dirty Filter Cause My Furnace to Stop Working?

Yes, a clogged air filter restricts airflow, making your furnace work harder and potentially causing it to overheat or shut down. A dirty filter can also reduce efficiency, increase energy costs, and affect indoor air quality. Replacing the filter regularly helps maintain optimal furnace performance.

Why Is My Furnace Making Loud Noises?

Loud noises like banging, rattling, or screeching can indicate a loose or broken component, such as a failing blower motor or an unbalanced fan. Whistling sounds may suggest restricted airflow due to a clogged filter or duct issue. A professional inspection can pinpoint the cause and prevent further damage.

How Long Does a Furnace Repair Take?

The time required for a furnace repair depends on the complexity of the issue. Simple repairs like thermostat adjustments or filter replacements can take less than an hour, while more extensive fixes, such as blower motor or heat exchanger repairs, may take longer. A skilled technician can provide an accurate estimate after diagnosing the problem.

Roy’s was amazing when our furnace bit the dust. They were able to get out same day and diagnose the problem an had a team out (on a holiday during a snowstorm no less) to come out and install the new unit. All of the employees we have worked with throughout the process have been extremely pleasant and respectful of our home. Hopefully no other huge jobs will be needed for a while but I appreciate their speed and service.

He also had the keen sense to detect a gas leak I had in my fireplace. His experience and knowledge and action may have prevented a tragedy or disaster. I’m an ever so grateful for him.
