During the winter months, having a reliable heating system for your home should always be a priority for any homeowner. If your San Marcos home isn’t able to stay warm, your family will be uncomfortable during the colder winter months. Unfortunately for many homeowners, keeping their furnace in good condition can often be difficult if they have busy work schedules. Scheduling regular cleaning and servicing can often be a good way around this problem since the contractors will visit your home to clean your Furnace in San Marcos and its components on a specific day.
Getting your heating system cleaned on a regular basis can prevent a lot of problems from occurring. Some of the most common problems that can occur in any heating and cooling system are clogs and blockages around the fan area. The fan area of your heating and cooling system is an important component, since it’s what pushes the air through the ventilation system whether you run the air conditioner or your Furnace in San Marcos. Without the fan system, the heat would build up in the furnace and go nowhere. This makes it very important to ensure that no clogs build up around the fan that could hinder it from turning. If the fan is blocked, the motor could easily burn out as it tries to turn the blocked fan.
Furnaces can stop producing heat for a variety of reasons. The most common one being that their heat source has a problem. In gas furnaces, this heat source is an ignition system and pilot light. In electric furnaces, however, the heat is created with a heating element. When the heating element goes out, the electric furnace will need a new element replacement to work again. Gas furnaces, on the other hand, may require more repair work than simply replacing an ignition system or pilot light. If a gas line is broken, the ignition source won’t have fuel to light up.
Taking care of your furnace can be simple with the right knowledge. Contact Stillman Heating and Air Conditioning Inc. to learn more about how to better take care of your air conditioner, or to schedule servicing for your home’s cooling system. You can also visit their Facebook page.
