Furnace Repair
Cold season or not, you always want to know you can heat your San Diego home when you need to. A broken home furnace is a burden on your comfort. Luckily, most of the time a professional furnace repair in San Diego will take care of worn out parts or whatever is causing your furnace to fail to heat your home. If the heating unit is not working, it is time to call in a professional San Diego heating technician to fix the furnace.
Testing the Furnace
There are a few simple ways to check and see if your furnace is acting the way it should, or if it's in need of repair. Start by asking yourself the following questions to get an idea of whether a furnace repair might be in place:
Do you have power going to the motor that runs the blower?
- If the answer is yes and the motor is hot, the problem may be the blower wheel that has come loose or is stuck on something.
Is the wheel stuck when you turn it?
- If the answer is no, the problem may be that the bearings surrounding the motor need to be replaced. If the bearings are working properly, the small tubes to the bearings may need some oil to free them up.
Maintenance Tips to Avoid Furnace Repair
There are a couple of home techniques any San Diego homeowner can put into practice that will prolong the need to get your heating system repaired.
Inspect the filter. If it is only slightly dirty, you can use a vacuum to clear it. You should also clean the blower blades and use duct tape to seal any air leaks that you may find in the ducts. Look for oil ports on the motor, normally located near the motor shaft. If the motor has these, apply two to three drops of non-detergent motor oil into each port.
Adopting regular DYI maintenance routines will increase the life of your furnace, as well as assure that a furnace repair won't become a frequent burden. Performing an annual furnace cleaning and tune-up will also help to maximize the operating efficiency of the furnace.
Changing your Furnace Filter:
- Turn off the unit.
- Unscrew the marked "filter" door on the side of the furnace.
- Slide the filter out and determine whether it is disposable or reusable. If it is reusable, clean it. A disposable furnace filter can be changed by finding a new one at any home maintenance store.
- Replace the new clean filter.
