Watch Out for These Late Winter Furnace Troubles in Atlanta
February 22, 2016

We’ve entered the second half of February, but we still have plenty of cold weather remaining to keep our home furnaces busy. After a few months of steady work, furnaces will have accumulated a great deal of wear on their components, as well as dirt and dust, and because of this it’s vital that you play close attention to your furnace’s performance at this time of year. You don’t want to have the system break down during the final cold stretch of winter—and you should never ignore a sign that the furnace needs repairs just because spring is in sight. Call our skilled technicians right away for repairs so you can head off even worse problems with your furnace.

Furnace Issues to Watch For

  • Dirt along the burners: Dust, dirt, and general grime can accumulate along the burners of a gas furnace over the winter. This restricts the ability of the gas jets to ignite. Don’t try to clean the burners yourself, however. If you notice that the furnace delays igniting when it comes on, or creates a loud “booming” noise after ignition, have technicians remove the burners and clean them.
  • Short-cycling: This is a malfunction where the furnace gets caught in its start-up cycle, turning on and off in rapid succession. This can lead to a full breakdown and it will raise your bills. There are a number of reasons for a short-cycling furnace, including a miscalibrated thermostat, clogged air filter, and faulty limit switch. Let the professionals find out what’s wrong and remedy it.
  • Uneven heating: Are you finding cold spots in your house, and rooms that are much cooler than the others? This is often a sign of a failing furnace, or it could mean issues with gaps in the ductwork. Call for HVAC experts to discover the source of the uneven heating and fix it.
