Why Is Cool Air Coming From My Furnace in Sumter, SC?

If you’ve noticed that your Sumter, SC heating system is not blowing warm air, this can cause concern during cool winter months. Here are a few furnace problems that may cause your system to blow cool air throughout your home.

Restricted Airflow

There must be adequate air flowing through your system and ductwork for your furnace to work correctly. If you have a dirty filter or dirty components in your system, this can impede airflow and lead to a loss of heat. It may be necessary to change your filter or allow our team to service your furnace so we can clean the interior components.

Leaky Ducts

If your ductwork has cracks or holes that are allowing warm air to escape, the air coming out of your vents may be cooler than what you expect. Have a professional inspect your ducts to ensure a secure passage from your furnace to your living spaces.

Damage to Your Ignition System

Your ignition system is necessary for your furnace to generate heat. If this component is malfunctioning or damaged, your furnace may not produce heat or do so inconsistently.

Broken Blower Motor or Fan

While your furnace may produce heated air, there may be an issue with your blower motor or fan preventing the air from moving into your home. You may also notice your system begin to overheat if this is the case.

Fuel Issues

Whether you have gas or electric heating, there may be a problem with the main energy source. If your furnace can’t run or it’s not producing heat, there may be a loose connection somewhere or a lack of fuel.
