FAQs
Why is regular HVAC maintenance important during winter in Lenoir City?
Regular maintenance ensures your heating system runs efficiently and safely when outdoor temperatures drop. It helps spot potential issues such as worn components or clogged filters before they turn into costly breakdowns. This preventive care can improve system reliability, lower energy bills, and extend the lifespan of your equipment.
What should I do if my furnace keeps turning on and off frequently?
Short cycling, where the furnace starts and stops too often, can be caused by issues such as dirty air filters, poor airflow, or a malfunctioning thermostat. Begin by changing the air filter and checking if any vents are blocked or closed. If the problem continues, call a professional technician who can diagnose and correct the underlying cause.
How often should I replace my HVAC filters during the colder months?
Most filters should be changed every 1–3 months in winter to maintain optimal airflow and indoor air quality. Homes with pets, smokers, or allergy sufferers may need more frequent replacements. Always check your specific filter’s recommendation and make sure your system stays clean and unobstructed.
How can I improve energy efficiency without sacrificing comfort?
Start by sealing air leaks around doors and windows with weatherstripping or caulk. Ensure proper insulation in your attic and walls, and use a programmable thermostat to auto-adjust settings based on your schedule. Regularly servicing your HVAC system, cleaning ducts, and using fans to circulate warm air can also help you stay cozy while saving on energy costs.
Why does my furnace blow cold air sometimes?
A variety of factors can cause cold air to blow when you expect heat—from a faulty pilot light or ignition sensor to a thermostat set to “on” rather than “auto.” First, confirm your thermostat settings and check for a tripped breaker. If these are in order and you still feel cold air, scheduling an inspection can uncover the root cause and prevent potential damage.
When should I call an HVAC professional for repairs?
Some issues, like unusual noises, rising energy bills, or inconsistent temperatures, require a professional’s expertise. If your system repeatedly struggles to maintain comfort, cycles on and off too frequently, or triggers your carbon monoxide detector, turn off your heating system and reach out to a licensed HVAC technician immediately.
