Furnace repair Tomball TX

Very warm and comfortable in bed with your furnace running at a constant temperature during a cold winter morning. Suddenly the temperature is down and starts to freeze with the furnace not operating properly or not working at all. What to do? Here are the top five furnace problems and ways to solve them. Before calling for furnace repair Tomball, TX, ensure to check these guidelines shared by Wrightway Comfort.

1. The furnace not producing heat at all is one of the top repair complaints raised by most of the homeowners. Defective thermostat, the temperature is set very low, diffused pilot light, the circuit breaker is blown out, unopened gas valve or any electronic ignition problems could be the many causes of this issue. Check the function of the thermostat by adjusting the thermostat, check the pilot light by relighting, change the circuit breaker or blown fuse, and troubleshoot the electronic ignition or thermostat.

2. If the furnace does not produce enough heat that it should provide, dirty gas burners or a dirty air filter could be the cause of blocking the airflow. Cleaning the burners and replacing the air filter could solve the problem. Call a heater repair technician if you are unsure of cleaning or replacing the air filter and the gas burners.

3. The blower running continuously could be due to the thermostat being set at a fan on mode. If your thermostat has no settings, a defective fan or bad fan switch could be the issue. Adjusting the setting of the thermostat to auto mode is one solution. For the other issue, replacing or repairing the fan control switch with a new one can solve the problem. Contact Tomball, TX heater installation experts for assistance.

4. Is your furnace have a very often turn on and off-cycle? The heat anticipator in the thermostat may be the problem causing this issue. A faulty blower motor or a dirty air filter can also be the issue. Check by replacing the air filter with a new one. If the problem is not solved, adjust the heat anticipator of the thermostat or restart the blower motor. Lubricate the blower motor or its belt with oil. 

5. Heavy noise from the furnace is one issue faced by the homeowners. Any faulty or damaged components or parts in the furnace may cause this problem. For such issues, it is better to call a professional technician to check, inspect, and carry out the service.
