This could mean the heat turns on but does not blow warm air like it should. It could also mean the unit is causing power surges due to a worn out component, or simply will not blow warm air at all. In many cases, these problems can be fixed easily by a reputable contractor like Poudre Valley Air. In other cases, however, it could lead to a home’s appliance for Heating in Loveland CO needing to be replaced entirely if the problem is too severe.
Fixing a malfunctioning furnace can often be easy to do if the problem is just a component needing replaced. This could be anything from the heating coils that generate the heat, to a fan motor needing replaced due to it burning out. Fans can go out at any time due to constant use, or the threat of small debris hindering them from turning properly. When small rocks, sticks, or other items enter a grate where a fan is, it can often pose a big threat to that component. Once an item blocks the fan’s movement, the motor will still keep turning. This can lead to the motor overworking itself and burning out, requiring replacement by a skilled technician. Fan blades can also bend or dent if made of metal, and break or chip if they are made out of hardened plastics.
In the event that a home’s Heating in Loveland CO is having issues due to a heating coil, the coil itself will most likely need to be replaced. This is usually due to a spot in the coil burning through because of constant use. Coils are typically made of copper, which can only withstand a certain amount of heat before it starts to weaken. When there are weak spots in the coil, a small discoloration will occur in the area. This coloration means the metal is having trouble with the amount of heat going through it, and will eventually burn through if not replaced. Once a discoloration appears, the coil itself cannot be fixed.
