Carbon Monoxide Detector

• Most importantly, if the carbon monoxide detector that is attached to your furnace goes off, turn your furnace off immediately, open the windows in your Akron, OH home and call Apollo Heating Cooling and Plumbing immediately. Carbon Monoxide leaks are extremely dangerous and can result in death if not dealt with immediately.
• Inadequate Heat
  Is your Akron, OH home unable to sustain a comfortable temperature? This is an indicator that your furnace may be experiencing issues that will require repair from Apollo Heating Cooling and Plumbing. When your furnace is not able to provide adequate heating for your Akron, OH home, this is usually due to either leaking ductwork or a thermostat issue. In either situation, you will need to contact Apollo Heating Cooling and Plumbing for professional assistance.
• Power Issues
  The average lifespan of a furnace is between fifteen and twenty years, depending on how well it has been maintained. As your furnace ages, it can run into power issues which may result in difficulty starting up. If you are needing to restart your furnace throughout the day, you will need to call Apollo Heating Cooling and Plumbing for repair. If your furnace is older, this can sometimes call for a full replacement.
• Foul Odors
  If you’ve been noticing strong, gassy odors coming from your furnace, this can indicate that there may be a gas leak due to excessive dust that has built up in the unit. If you smell abnormal smells coming from your furnace, make sure to call the pros at Apollo Heating Cooling and Plumbing to have your furnace assessed.
• Odd Noises
  Your furnace is naturally a loud operation, but in the event something is wrong with the unit, it can produce odd banging or whistling noises as a result. If your furnace is making abnormal noises, call Apollo Heating Cooling and Plumbing right away to diagnose the issue and repair your unit.
• Pilot Light Color
  The pilot light color on your furnace should be a blue tint. If the pilot light on your furnace is a different color, particularly yellow, you need to call Apollo Heating Cooling and Plumbing right away. A yellow pilot light is indication of a ventilation problem within the unit. The color changes from blue to yellow when the carbon monoxide and other gasses do not dissipate correctly. This can cause a carbon monoxide leak in your Akron, OH home which is particularly dangerous as a carbon monoxide silent killer as it is both colorless and odorless. If your pilot light is not blue, do not wait until it’s too late, schedule a repair with Apollo Heating Cooling and Plumbing immediately.
• Poor Air Quality
  Is your Akron, OH home consistently dusty no matter how frequently and thoroughly you clean it? This could be due to your furnace and HVAC system. If your furnace is not properly maintained, it can cause a buildup of excess dust, dirt, and other bacteria which will blow out into the rest of your home. This is why it is always important to have Apollo Heating Cooling and Plumbing perform a yearly furnace tune-up. If you or someone in your family is prone to allergies, asthma, or other respiratory issues, poor air quality can cause serious health effects, so make sure to call Apollo Heating Cooling and Plumbing repair your furnace to avoid any negative health consequences.

Potential Causes of a Broken Furnace

Your furnace is a very complex machine and operation and is made up of many different parts and components. Because of this, there are a lot of things that can go wrong and result in professional assistance from Apollo Heating Cooling and Plumbing for a repair. Common causes and potential issues with your furnace include:

• Thermostat: A broken thermostat can increase your monthly utility bills. This is what communicates to your furnace the desired temperature for your Akron, OH home.
• Blower Motor: The blower motor is one of the most essential parts of your furnace – this is what pushes and blows the air through your air ducts.
• Draft Inducer Motor: The purpose of this component is to pull gasses through the heat exchanger and out of the flue to prevent carbon monoxide buildup and leaking.
• Ignitor: Ignitors fail more commonly than any other part of a furnace and work by igniting the pilot light.
• Flame Sensor: Flame sensors, otherwise referred to as thermocouples, are most commonly found in gas furnaces to detect whether the pilot light is lit and working or not.
• Gas Valve: A gas valve allows gas and propane to flow into gas furnaces safely.
• Control Board: This is the main board that allows the rest of the circuitry within the furnace to run.
• Flue Pipe: This pipe directs carbon monoxide and other toxic gasses outside of your home.
• Relay Switch: Otherwise known as a limit switch, this is the part that allows electricity to reach the electrical components inside your furnace.
• Transformer: Converts electrical power flowing into your home into a lower voltage that is used in your furnace.
• Oil Combustion Chamber: Used in oil furnaces, this two part system works to safely transfer heat from the furnace into the rest of your Akron, OH.
• Heat Exchanger: This component heats the air that pushes the heated air throughout your Akron, OH home.
• Coils: Coils are found in the air conditioning part of your HVAC system but live inside the furnace duct.
