Like most people, you want to feel comfortable in your own home. You have your most comfortable chairs and smooth and clean floors. The other main aspect of your home being a nice comfortable place is the cooling and heating system. This the way that you have a cooled down house when the summer months are beaming heat and a warmed home when the air cools down. You want to make sure that your heating and cooling system is in good working condition. One of the main problems that occurs with your heater is when it stops producing hot air. The heating system is supposed to warm the air that is then sent through the house. When the air is not actually heated the air that is then sent through the duct is cool and that will not create the warmth that you want to be comfortable. Having a plan on what to do and what could be causing the problem can help you get back on track.
Agape Air Conditioning, Heating & Plumbing Lists Tips for when Furnace Turns On But Has No Heat
Thermostat: One of the most common problems when your heater is not sending out hot air is because of the thermostat. It may seem silly that such a minor thing could be the cause but it can. The thermostat needs to be set to a particular temperature and then the heater will work to heat the house to that degree. When the thermostat stops working it may not be sending the correct signal to the heater. This may mean that the gauge out of the backup battery has gone out. You want to make sure that you replace the battery in the unit if the air is not coming out hot. You can also make sure that the fan is not set to on. If the fan is set to run constantly it can be sending air out that is not hot yet. If the fan is running the air may come out cool so it is best to have it on an auto setting.
Furnace Circuit Breaker Tripped: The heating unit is a major appliance and that means that it is pulling up a lot of energy. The more energy that is being used the more likely it will be that the breaker can be tripped. If there is a surge of energy in the unit it can cause the breaker to trip making sure that the unit is no longer being sent electricity. That also means that the heater is not able to send out hot air. You can go out to the circuit panel and check to see if the circuit has been tripped. You can reset the circuit and your heating system should start back up.
Furnace Heating Element Problem: The next problem can be from the heating element meaning that it is not able to create heat. The heating element needs to have electricity or gas to create the heat that is then sent out to your home. When the element has been damaged it will not create the heat and you may need to have the unit replaced or repaired.
