You paid your electric bill, so why isn’t your heater working? It’s freezing outside and even colder in your office or home. There are several reasons why your heater may be acting up.
There are three types of furnaces: the oil-fired forced hot air furnace, the forced-air electric furnace and the gas-fired forced furnace. All are intended to heat indoor spaces efficiently, but they can malfunction for various reasons, causing cold air to blow instead of warm. Some reasons for furnace failure are listed below:
- Low fuel levels
- Dirty filter
- In need of a system reboot
- Clogged condensate hose
- Bad gas valve
- Blocked burner
- Burned out thermocouple
- Faulty electronic switch
