Pilot Light Troubleshooting

If you are concerned about staying warm while you are at home for an extended amount of time you want to make sure that your heater is working. The heater can work all season long and then stop when there is a part that has become damaged. One of the issues that you might have with your heater is when there is an issue with the pilot light. The pilot light has to be working to get the heat to start. There are some times that the light can die off and that will stop the unit from working. The pilot light can often times be lit and your home can be heated again. You want to be sure that you know what causes the light to go out. There can be an underlying issue that should be addressed to keep the light from going out again.

Short Cycling Issues

Another very common problem that you might come across when you are using your furnace is it has started to short cycle. If you have a system that has started to short cycle it means that it starts to heat the home and then it suddenly shuts off. The system should stay heating until the house reaches a temperature that you set on the thermostat. When the system turns on and off rapidly it can lead to more damage. Short cycling is a sign of a different problem which usually is a clog or blockage in the lines.

Weak Air Flow

If you reach up to the vents to see the air that is coming out you might notice that it has decreased and that there is not as much air coming out that used to. The flow should be strong enough and should heat the home. The reduced air flow can be from the ducts that are clogged and need to be cleaned out. This is something a professional HVAC company can offer and do to get you back to heating the home.
