Like your washing machine, car, and even your body, your HVAC system is made up of many components working together. This can be daunting when it suddenly stops working—with such an intricate system, how can you pinpoint what’s wrong? The good news is that once you find out, it may be a commonly repairable or replaceable element.
Here are a few frequent HVAC repair issues that, once fixed, will have your system up and running in no time!
- Thermostat: The thermostat tells your system what the temperature should be—but if it’s not getting the right message, then it won’t act accordingly. An HVAC technician can find out if a thermostat is inaccurately reading temperatures or can’t convey signals properly. If so, you may find there wasn’t anything wrong with your system itself, and the thermostat is the only thing that needs to be repaired.
- Furnace Ignitor: The furnace ignitor is the mechanism that lights a gas-powered furnace. If it’s not working, this can be an indication of a different problem (like a tripped breaker or full drain pan), but it can also be the ignitor itself.
- Blower Motor: The blower motor is responsible for moving air into the ducts, so it can circulate through your house. If your furnace or air conditioner is on, but you feel no air coming through the vents, or you hear squealing or clanking sounds, there may be an issue with it. If this is the case, after the blower motor is repaired or replaced, you should be able to enjoy comfortable temperatures throughout your home once again.
