One of the more common methods for heating the interior of a home or business is the forced air furnace, sometimes known as central heating or simply the furnace. Note that a forced heat system is also part of an HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) appliance. A forced air furnace works by heating air in an air exchanger. How this is handled will depend on the type of furnace in question. For instance, an electric furnace may heat the air inside the air exchanger while the gas based model usually heats the exterior of the exchange. When the unit fails to produce heat, it is time to seek out heating system repair in New Richmond WI.
One of the more common concerns with a natural gas system is a failure to ignite. The exact fault will depend on the type of ignition system. Certain gas units may use a pilot light that isn’t quite hot enough to ignite the current level of fuel flow. Sometimes, this problem is a partially blocked jet. That is, the outlet for gas may be blocked by soot. Cleaning it may require a very fine brush or some way of remove the soot. If possible, adjust the pilot light or the level of fuel.
Alternately, the electronic spark that ignites more expensive burners may fail. This sort of problem is often found during routine winter preparations. This simple set of tasks cleans essential parts of the heating unit, evaluates all the critical components and generally ensures the heating system functions as efficiently as possible. Locating a failure like the faulty pilot system may require a bit of an effort to access essential components. An expert in heating system repair in New Richmond WI should be able to handle this issue as part of the cleaning process.
If the furnace system uses electrical resistance, then the issue of burning a volatile fuel is no longer a concern. However, annual service on the furnace will still be needed to clean out the air and the heat exchange systems. This is also a good time to have the technicians check and clean the evaporator coil in an HVAC appliance. This coil is located somewhere in the path of the airflow. While it isn’t used for heating, the coil can still block airflow when it is dirty. To learn more, contact the experts at Boldt’s Plumbing & Heating Inc.
