Common Wintertime HVAC Problems

When it comes to your home’s comfort during the winter, the most important question that should be on your mind is “How comfortable do I want to be?” You shouldn’t wait until there is an issue with your Heating and cooling system before you start to think about your comfort. The sooner you have your home’s HVAC system professionally checked out, the more you’ll be able to enjoy home’s warmth when the temperatures are bone cold outside.
It’s not always easy to know when your furnace or heat pump are going to malfunction. It’s also not very easy for you to know the cause of any problems that occur. To give you a better idea of what could happen to your heating and cooling system, we’ve listed some of the most common wintertime HVAC problems below.

Poor Heat/Air Flow

If you keep cranking up the heat because it never seems to get warm enough inside of your home, you could be dealing with a couple of HVAC issues. The problem could be the result of dirty air filters or coils, a bad blower motor or dirty and leaking ducts. While it may be easy for you to correct the problem yourself if dirty air filters are the culprit, you’ll need a professional TN HVAC company to come out and fix the problem if it’s caused by something else.

Carbon Monoxide Exposure

Some furnaces seem to last forever. While that is desirable, old heating and cooling appliances like furnaces are not always so safe. Once a furnace reaches the 10-year mark, it starts to loss its efficiency.  It may also start to leak carbon monoxide as well. If you’re not sure if your furnace is past its prime or you notice that you start to feel sleepy and sluggish when your home gets to a certain temperature or right after the furnace comes on, a professional inspection is in order. It may be time for you to have your furnace replaced.
