One of the best things about Prescott’s cold weather is cuddling up and enjoying it by staying warm and comfortable. Prescott Air Conditioning wants you and your whole family to be comfortable – and safe – this winter. If your home is experiencing some furnace problems and you have no idea why, here are several common furnace complaints and their likely causes:

The furnace is blowing cold air

• It might be that the air filter is dirty. Filters should be changed every one to three months depending on the type.
• Your air ducts may not be properly insulated or could be leaking. Have a professional determine if your furnace is sufficient for your size home.

Your furnace is giving off a lot of carbon monoxide

• An old furnace could be releasing carbon monoxide through small cracks in the heat exchanger. Have your furnace professionally inspected and tested for unsafe levels of carbon monoxide.
• Install carbon monoxide detectors in your home to protect you and your family.

Your furnace is noisy

• A mechanical problem can result in a noisy furnace. A professional should inspect your furnace to determine what is causing the noise, and to ensure your furnace is operating safely.

The blower doesn’t shut off

• The cause could be a malfunctioning limit switch, which would require professional service.

Heat is not turning on

• Check the thermostat battery and replace as needed.

If you find that your Prescott home is not as warm and comfy as it should be, these common problems may be the cause. More importantly, you want to make sure that your home’s furnace is operating efficiently and safely. If you’re faced with a furnace problem, don’t wait.
