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.

Out tech Christian was personable, highly knowledgeable, and even was able to come early! Having an older home, things tend to be a little more involved than planned. Christian assessed our problem and explained the details and steps necessary in replacing the very old flange and pipe on the toilet. He went above to be sure everything was secure and well done. We will definitely use Roy's in the future. Vanessa Rehac

Josh B and Jeremiah V were great. I needed the annual checkup & cleaning of my tankless water heater. They arrived and completed the work within the given arrival window. They were knowledgeable, thorough, and mindful of the area they were working in. They inspected the water heater and Josh explained everything before they started work. Josh answered my questions and made sure I understood and was comfortable with all tasks before they started work. Josh B and Tyler R installed a HALO water filtration system and did a great job. It’s a two day install. Both days they arrived on time, explained everything they were going to do before starting, and made sure I understood the every step of the process. Would definitely recommend Roy’s and these technicians.
