Solutions for Common A/C and Furnace Problems
Never ignore such problems for too long as they can put excess stress on the system, leading to compressor failure. The good news is that you can fix some of the common issues yourself such as:
Clearing obstructions around the unit. If you have placed your furnace or air-conditioner in the middle of other storage items, the airflow to and from the system may get obstructed, causing overheating. . When people in offices don’t agree on the thermostat setting, someone may move a cabinet in front of the air-vents to obstruct the heated or cooled air. Remove any such items placed around your HVAC system.
Make sure all vents and registers are not blocked. Leaves or debris may get in the pipes and stop the airflow. Get your vents inspected regularly for any such blockages.
Changing the air filters regularly. Air filters dust and debris from the air. If it gets overloaded and clogged, the dirt will move to the ducts and equipment which can impede the airflow, causing hot or cold spots in your space. It can damage the equipment as well. Consult the product’s manual while cleaning the air-filters.
Getting the ducts inspected and cleaned as dust can accumulate there, blocking them. There is also the possibility of insects, birds or rodents building nests in there. This may cause the pipes to crack and reduces the airflow from the HVAC system.
Checking the thermostat which may become faulty or the battery may be running low. This can also cause airflow issues.
Checking the blower fans which need cleaning from time to time. Grime can deposit on the fan blades or the motor giving you a reduced airflow.
Making sure the coils in your furnace or A/C is working fine. It helps in heating or cooling remove the air playing a major role. The coil might fail or may get dirty so inspect and clean it regularly to avoid A/C or furnace repairs.
