Even in California, the demand on furnaces during the winter can cause a lot of problems. You probably don’t want your furnace to break down on you in the middle of one of the coldest months of the year, so it’s a good idea to keep a close eye on your system for any problems that may develop.
Your furnace is going to be put under more and more strain in the coming months. As the temperature outside continues to drop and you use the system for longer hours, there’s going to be an ever-increasing possibility of something going wrong.
It may not feel like it yet, but we’re almost to the end of summer. Before long, you’re going to be relying on your furnace to keep warm.
Short cycling is one of the most dangerous problems that can afflict any climate control system, including furnaces. It vastly increases the level of wear and tear on the furnace, shortening its lifespan and making it much more likely for various parts of the system to break down.
Furnaces have a number of components that help them to operate safely and effectively, but there are 3 key components that could be dubbed the “workhorses” of the system: the blower, the burner and the heat exchanger. While every component is necessary, should a problem develop with any of these 3, you most likely won’t have any heat, or won’t have safe, sufficient and efficient heat.
