If your Elk Grove home’s heating system blows cold air in the winter, it is nearly impossible to be comfortable when you are in the house. Understanding the common reasons and remedies helps to ensure that you can get your system working properly again quickly.
Old Age
An older furnace might blow cold air due to a faulty or dirty component. In some cases, a professional can repair the damage, but furnaces have a limited life span, and it might be time to replace it.
Thermostat Settings
If your heater is blowing cold air, it could be due to an incorrect thermostat setting. Make sure it is not in “fan” or “cold” mode since these settings do not turn on the heater. If correcting the settings does not work, schedule a maintenance appointment so one of our technicians can inspect your thermostat.
Clogged or Dirty Air Filter
If your furnace air filter is very dirty or clogged, an airflow restriction can occur. When air is not flowing effectively, your furnace might overheat, which turns the burners off, causing it to put out cold air. You can clean or replace your air filter to restore proper airflow.
Leaky Air Ducts
If you have leaky air ducts, warm air will escape as it makes its way from the furnace to your vents. This could make the air coming out of your vents feel cooler than it should be.
Warm-up Time
When your furnace first kicks on, you might notice the air coming from the vents feels cold. It might take 15 minutes for the air to feel sufficiently warm.
