Air flow problems are particularly troublesome issues to deal with. That\u2019s simply because they don\u2019t often make noises or create erratic behaviors, so you may not even notice them when they first start occurring. In fact, most people notice these issues only after they receive a high heating bill seemingly out of nowhere.<\/p>\n
Air flow issues can force you to run your heater much longer than you intend. Allow that to happen for several days out of a month, and you\u2019ll see a heating bill to match.<\/p>\n
If you notice lessened air flow from your furnace, call for furnace repair in Churubusco<\/a> to get to the bottom of the problem. That being said, here are some possible causes:<\/p>\n <\/p>\n A gradual loss of air flow from the furnace could be due to a dirty and clogged air filter. As the air filter fills up with dirt and dust, it can begin to restrict the flow of air. Not only does that make it difficult for your furnace to acquire oxygen for combustion, but it can also cause the furnace to overheat.<\/p>\n Regardless of whether you\u2019re experiencing furnace issues, you should always be changing the air filter regularly. Lack of air flow is just one <\/em>of the problems that a dirty air filter can create.<\/p>\n Have your air filter replaced and see if that fixes your problems before calling in for repairs. If it doesn\u2019t help, give us a call.<\/p>\n The ducts are where air flows from the furnace to the rooms of your home. If there are any issues with the ducts, it will be sure to compromise overall performance.<\/p>\n Ducts are quite durable, but they\u2019re not invincible. Over time, they can form leaks or simply become disconnected. This will sap up any heated air coming through the ductwork, meaning you won\u2019t be feeling that air coming through the air registers.<\/p>\n And while an obstruction in the ducts won\u2019t cause energy to become lost, it will still block air flow. Common obstructions include the carcasses of pests or loose insulation.<\/p>\n Installing ducts is a bit of an art, and not every HVAC contractor is amazing at it. If they make the ducts too big for the home and the furnace, that can result in reduced air flow.<\/p>\n On the other hand, it could be that an HVAC technician has installed a furnace without making considerations to the ducts. Either way, the ducts are an important part of the system that should never be taken for granted.<\/p>\n Up to this point, we\u2019ve talked a lot about air flowing through the ducts. But that doesn\u2019t just happen on its own. So what magical force allows this to happen?<\/p>\n That would be the blower fan. As its name implies, this is a fan that blows heated air through the duct system. You can expect major air flow issues\u2014and eventual overheating\u2014if this fan becomes obstructed or burns out.<\/p>\n Air flow problems are particularly troublesome issues to deal with.<\/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":[137,136],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.collierscomfort.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/733"}],"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=733"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/www.collierscomfort.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/733\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":738,"href":"https:\/\/www.collierscomfort.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/733\/revisions\/738"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.collierscomfort.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=733"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.collierscomfort.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=733"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.collierscomfort.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=733"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}Dirty Air Filter<\/h2>\n
