Furnace Blowing Cold Air? Repair Tips for Wichita Residents

When winter chills strike Wichita, KS, a malfunctioning furnace can make your home uncomfortably cold. One common issue homeowners face is a furnace blowing cold air. Understanding the reasons behind this problem can help you take swift action. Here are common causes and expert furnace repair tips for Wichita residents.

1. Check Your Thermostat Settings

Sometimes, the issue is as simple as incorrect thermostat settings. Ensure it's set to "Auto" and the desired temperature is higher than the current room temperature.

2. Pilot Light Is Out

For older furnaces with a pilot light, a blown-out light means no heat. Carefully relight it following your manufacturer's instructions or call a professional if you're unsure.

3. Ignition System Malfunctions

Clogged filters restrict airflow, causing the furnace to overheat and shut down the burners. Replace filters regularly to maintain proper airflow.

4. Dirty or Clogged Air Filters

Your AC should maintain a consistent cooling cycle. If it turns on and off more frequently than usual, there could be an underlying issue that needs to be addressed promptly.

5. Leaky or Damaged Ducts

Safety features may shut down an overheating furnace, causing it to blow cold air. Overheating can stem from mechanical failures that need expert attention.

6. Furnace Overheating and Shutting Off

An effective AC system should regulate humidity indoors. If your home feels more humid than usual, your AC might not be operating correctly.

7. Insufficient Gas Supply

A disrupted gas supply can prevent the furnace from heating. Check if other gas appliances are working; if not, contact your gas company.

8. Blower Motor Problems

The blower motor circulates warm air. If it's malfunctioning, the furnace may produce heat but fail to distribute it. Professional repair is recommended.
