This is, of course, a very concerning problem to have on a cold fall or winter day\u2014feeling cold air come out of your vents is the last thing you need, after all. If you have in fact discovered you\u2019re experiencing this problem, the best thing you can do to get your system back on track is give our team a call!<\/p>\n
We won\u2019t be able to definitively tell you why your furnace is having this issue through a blog post, but we can speculate and let you know what the problem may <\/em>be, which we\u2019ve done below.<\/p>\n Just remember, furnace repairs are never something to attempt on your own. You can accidentally do more harm than good, without actually resolving the problem. Keep reading as we go over what could be happening when your furnace blows cold air.<\/p>\n Sometimes a furnace problem isn\u2019t a furnace <\/em>problem at all, but rather something going on with the thermostat. First, check to make sure that your thermostat is set to \u201cauto\u201d instead of \u201con.\u201d When it\u2019s set to \u201con,\u201d the fan will continuously blow, even if the furnace isn\u2019t actually generating any heat. So of course, the air you\u2019ll notice coming from the vents will be room temperature. On a cold day, room temperature can feel pretty chilly!<\/p>\n There\u2019s also the chance that someone in your home changed the setting on the thermostat because they have a different temperature preference than you\u2014what you\u2019re feeling as \u201ccold\u201d air could just be that your temperature has already reached the desired setting on your thermostat.<\/p>\n Lastly, the problem might be that your thermostat is miscalibrated. This is something our team can help with!<\/p>\n The air filter that comes standard in your HVAC system is there to protect\u00a0it from getting infiltrated with dust, dirt, and other debris. Homeowners often believe its purpose is to protect their indoor air quality. While it won\u2019t hurt <\/em>their indoor air quality, it\u2019s purpose is to protect your furnace.<\/p>\n When the air filter gets too clogged though, it restricts the airflow going into the furnace, and therefore impacts the airflow going out. What you\u2019re perceiving as \u201ccold air\u201d coming through the vents may be less airflow due to a clogged filter. Your air filters are something you should check every 1-3 months depending on the type of filter.<\/p>\n Whether you have an electric or gas system, broken heating elements will disallow you from effectively using your heating system. The air flowing through your furnace picks up heat from heat exchangers within your system. If these aren\u2019t working right, of course, the air coming through will feel cool.<\/p>\n It\u2019s important to note here as well, if you have broken heat exchangers in a gas-powered furnace it can quickly become a safety hazard.
