Living in Edmonton, you need a furnace because the city experiences long, cold winters with temperatures that fluctuate and can drop quickly. A furnace is essential to keep your home warm and comfortable during these cold months. It helps maintain a comfortable indoor temperature, provides heat to all the rooms in your house, and helps to prevent freezing of water pipes in your plumbing system.
Some common issues that can occur with a furnace in Edmonton include:
A furnace essentially needs spark, gas and combustion air, in the right sequence. If an issue is suspected by the furnace control, it will lockout as a safety precaution.
The furnace’s air filters can get clogged with dust, debris, and pet hair reducing airflow and efficiency. This can result in reduced heating capacity and higher energy consumption.
The thermostat controls the temperature settings of the furnace. Malfunctions, low batteries, or incorrect thermostat setup can lead to inconsistent heating or complete failure of the furnace.
The blower motor circulates heated air throughout your home. Problems with the blower motor can result in poor airflow or no heat distribution.
Combustion air needs to be drawn into the furnace as well as flue gasses exhausted to the exterior. If these pipes become fully or partially clogged with debris or ice the furnace safety switches will prevent it from operating.
Furnaces that burn fuel can potentially develop cracks or leaks leading to the release of carbon monoxide. This is a serious safety concern that requires immediate attention. Keep carbon monoxide detectors up to date.
It is important to regularly maintain and service your furnace to minimize the chances of these issues and ensure safe and efficient operation.
