When cooler weather arrives, you’ll need your furnace to be in good shape to keep you warm. If you find that your HVAC system has been consistently overheating, you’ll need to have that fixed right away. Read on to discover some reasons why the furnace overheats in your Augusta, GA home.
1. There’s Poor Airflow
For your furnace to work well and be efficient, air must flow easily through it. A dirty filter is one of the reasons that airflow becomes restricted. It will have to work harder to reach the right temperature, which could cause overheating.
Another reason for weak airflow is that something in front of one or more vents, particularly the intake vent, has created an obstacle. You might also have closed the vents in unused rooms. In either case, these obstructions could contribute to your furnace overheating.
2. Something Is Wrong Inside the Furnace
Furnaces contain many components, some of which are quite fragile and become worn out with age. These parts sometimes need replacement. When interior parts fail for whatever reason, you need expert heating repairs.
3. You Need a Tune-Up
Regular maintenance generally helps to stave off major repairs. Most of the time, a technician can find small things wrong during a maintenance inspection and fix them before they become larger issues.
If you haven’t had furnace maintenance in a while, then something could occur to cause overheating. It’s best to schedule maintenance at least once a year.
