3 Winter Heating Problems and How to Fix Them
An efficient heating system is crucial for every home, especially during winter. However, heating failure during the colder months is not unheard of. Today’s blog post from your preferred HVAC contractor Comfort Zone of North Florida lists three of the most common heating problems you might encounter during winter, and how these issues can be addressed.
Malfunctioning Heat Pump
There are several reasons your exterior heat pump could be failing to blow hot air. While freezing weather is rare in Northern Florida, occasionally a frozen heat pump can be to blame for the lack of warm air in your home. The first thing you can do to address this issue is to check the defrost setting of your heat pump. If you find that it’s malfunctioning, you’re going to have to manually remove the frost buildup.
Faulty Thermostat
If you find yourself freezing even when you’re sure you’ve set the thermostat to the desired temperature, it might be the fault of a broken thermostat. In some cases, the problem can easily be solved by replacing the thermostat batteries. However, certain thermostat issues aren’t that easily fixed. Since thermostats have wiring and settings that might be dangerous to check on your own, enlist the help of a trusted residential and commercial HVAC service company such as Comfort Zone of North Florida.
Uneven Temperature Distribution
Fluctuating temperatures in your home can easily drain your patience and your wallet. While uneven air flow can be the result of cracks or gaps around your doors and windows, this issue is primarily caused by blocked vents and ducts. Determining the cause of uneven air flow and temperature distribution in your home isn’t always an easy task, and it’s likely that you’ll need the help of professionals in addressing the issue once and for all.
