HVAC stands for Heating, Ventilating & Air Conditioning. These three systems directly affect your comfort. So if you have seasonal problems with your home’s temperature – whether too hot or too cold – you usually know quickly.
Here are three of the most common HVAC questions Eyman Plumbing hears
Why doesn’t the furnace blow hot air?
This may not seem like a major issue in early summer, but in the colder months, you depend on your heating system keep you and your family warm.
This could happen because:
- The thermostat was left “on” and the blower constantly runs even though the furnace doesn’t heat the air
- The pilot light is out
- Your furnace is overheated
Why do I hear strange popping noises in my air ducts?
More than likely, it’s not a ghost but it could be a signal that there’s a problem with your furnace.
This could happen because:
- Too much grime gets into the furnace due to a dirty air filter
- The furnace motor is starting to burn out
- There is a carbon-monoxide leak (if your furnace uses natural gas)
How do I know if my air conditioner is leaking Freon?
There are a couple of things to check to confirm your concerns:
This could happen because:
- You turn your air conditioner to its highest setting but get little cold air or none at all
- If you see water leaking from the unit
- The pipes leading to the unit are frozen
- Frost on the inside of the condenser
