Well, not exactly. One of the first signs that a furnace exhibits before it starts to shut down or suffer from an efficiency problem, is it sends lukewarm air through your vents. There are a lot of reasons this could happen, but we assure you that none of them are good.<\/p>\n<p>While you might just need a quick repair, your furnace could also be aging into retirement.

Lukewarm air, or just &#8220;room temperature&#8221; air is not the same as heated air. When you put your hand up to your air vent, it should feel comforting, like the feeling you get when you eat a warm bowl of chili or soup. If you&#8217;re getting room temperature air coming from your vents, then you&#8217;re likely dealing with a furnace that&#8217;s not able to achieve it&#8217;s goal of heating your home properly.<\/p>\n<h3>It Could Be Due to Several Factors<\/h3>\n<p>Here are a few reasons why your furnace might be giving you lukewarm air.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>A clogged air filter.\u00a0<\/strong>First and foremost, turn your furnace off and change out the air filter. A clogged air filter could cause a decrease in effectiveness and overall worse performance from your furnace. See if this helps at all.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A gas leak.\u00a0<\/strong>Gas could be leaking out of your furnace to the point where it&#8217;s having trouble creating a flame powerful enough to heat your whole home. This is dangerous and also likely leading to poor performance.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A component breakdown in the system.\u00a0<\/strong>Whether it&#8217;s the burner, the ignition, or a component of the electrical system, your furnace could have a component that&#8217;s completely broken down. Your blower fans might be trying to circulate hot air through your home, but the heat isn&#8217;t being created at all due to the malfunction.<\/li>\n<li><strong>A blower fan malfunction.\u00a0<\/strong>If the air coming from your vents is exiting slowly and not with the vigor and speed you&#8217;re used to, then you could have a problem with the blower fan too. Sometimes heat is being created by your furnace, but it&#8217;s just not being sent into the rooms of your house.<\/li>\n<li><strong>The system needs to be replaced.\u00a0<\/strong>Gauge how many problems there are when you speak to a professional. If it seems like your system is bursting at the seams with expensive repair needs and it&#8217;s aging past its expiration date, then it might be time to replace your system with a new furnace installation. We can help with that.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"\/contact\/send-message\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><strong>Call Collier&#8217;s Comfort for advice on next steps to take with your furnace system.\u00a0<em>True Comfort, True Savings.<\/em><\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Our team is going to work hard on informing you as to what&#8217;s going on, and we&#8217;ll fix the system quickly so you can get back to your normal life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[76],"tags":[92,136,6],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.collierscomfort.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1142"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.collierscomfort.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.collierscomfort.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.collierscomfort.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.collierscomfort.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1142"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.collierscomfort.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1142\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":1146,"href":"https:\/\/www.collierscomfort.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1142\/revisions\/1146"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.collierscomfort.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1142"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.collierscomfort.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1142"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.collierscomfort.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1142"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
