When your gas furnace isn’t properly heating your home, you’ll want to get it fixed as quickly as possible. A qualified technician who specializes in the repair of a Gas Furnace in Richmond VA can soon get your furnace functioning again. Below are some commonly asked questions and the answers concerning gas furnace problems.
Q.) What causes a gas furnace to run but not produce heat?
A.) There are various reasons why your gas furnace may not be sufficiently warming your home. The most common issues include a dirt filled air filter, misaligned burners or an airflow obstruction. If your filter is filled with grime, you can easily replace the old one yourself. A technician can inspect your unit and make adjustments to the burners and determine the cause of the blockage.
Q.) Why does a gas furnace continually turn off and on while it’s running?
A.) If your gas furnace shuts on and off too frequently, there could be an issue with the blower motor. If this is the problem, a technician will place a lubricant on the moving parts. The technician will also examine the belt and look for wear, cracks or splits. If the belt is worn, the technician can replace it with a new one. If the belt is not worn, the technician may be able to fix the problem by tightening the belt if it’s too loose.
Q.) What would cause the furnace blower to constantly run all of the time?
A.) If you always hear the blower running on your gas furnace, this could be caused by an incorrect setting on your thermostat. Make sure that your thermostat isn’t set in the position where the fan always blows. If the thermostat controls are fine, the fan control switch is bad. A technician who can repair your Gas Furnace in Richmond VA can test the control switch and replace it if it’s not working properly.
