When the temperature drops in the wintertime, you want to know that your furnace is ready to heat the home and keep you cozy. Unfortunately, it is likely that you will experience furnace problems at some point. The good news is that our professionals know how to handle the most common issues and get your furnace working again. Here are the most prominent heater problems that homeowners will face when the cold weather arrives.

Motor Issues 

The motor is what forces air through the ducts and into your Las Vegas home. When the motor isn’t working, it cannot move air through the system. Wear and tear on the motor is a normal part of use and age, so it’s common for this component to fail. The good news is that it can be replaced as part of a professional heating repair service.

Ignition Failure

Gas-burning furnaces have a pilot light that ignites the fuel to warm the air. This pilot light connects to a thermocouple that regulates the movement of gas and will shut off the gas if the pilot light is extinguished. An important safety feature, the thermocouple will shut down the furnace if it’s not working. Problems with the pilot light will also cause the system to shut down.

Air Flow Challenges

If the system becomes clogged with dust or debris, the air flow is hampered and the system won’t work as efficiently. Damaged air ducts and leaks can also lead to reduced air flow and a furnace that practically shuts down. This is more likely to happen when the system is used regularly without changing the filters.
