As winter approaches in Odessa, TX, you’ll need your furnace to be in its best shape. An overheating furnace is neither efficient nor able to keep you warm. Read further to find out some reasons that your furnace could be overheating.
Continued Poor Airflow
Good furnace operation relies on sufficient airflow. If your furnace filter is full of dirt, the air won’t flow easily through it, which will make your heating system work harder. There’s a point when your furnace will begin to overheat from the overwork.
Secondary to the state of the filter, you might also have closed too many vents in your home. Many people close vents to rooms they don’t use in an effort to reduce their energy bills. This is counterproductive because it causes your furnace to have to work harder, which could cause overheating.
Something Fails Inside
Your furnace contains many parts, some of which are delicate and need periodic replacement. If one or more of these parts fail, it could cause your furnace to overheat. It could also be something as simple as a loose wire, but in all cases, you can seek repairs from one of our NATE-certified professional service technicians.
No Maintenance in a While
Just like any other machinery, furnaces need regular maintenance. A professional service technician can find small issues and fix them before they turn into significant problems. If you haven’t had a service technician take a look recently, several things could go wrong that might cause overheating.
