Hartford, CT Furnace Repair: Common Issues
- The air filter – Probably the most common cause of furnace problems is a clogged air filter. Your furnace uses an air filter to protect the internal parts from dust and debris in the outside air. But this filter needs to be changed regularly or it can restrict the flow of air through the furnace and cause tremendous damage including overheating, a cracked heat exchanger, insufficient heating and much more.
- Not enough heating – If you aren’t getting enough heat in your home, there are a couple of common causes of this. As we mentioned above, might be a clogged air filter. It could also be a bad fan motor, a dirty burner or a broken thermocouple.
- Noises – There are a couple of other noises to watch out for with your furnace. If it is squealing it likely means that the fan motor belt is broken. If you hear grinding it can mean that the fan motor bearings need to be lubricated.
