Some of the most common issues in Memphis, TN when it comes to the furnace!
The common heating issue include
Unchanged or unclean filters: Having clean filters will help your unit run more efficiently, in turn saving you money on your energy bills. Make sure your filters are kept clean.
Regular wear and tear on units: A furnace like any other machine will have expected wear and tear just from running the system.
Igniting the furnace- issues with ignition and the flames inside should be left to a professional. If the color should be blue, so pay attention to red or yellow flames and pilot light.
Issues with the thermostat: Issues with the thermostat can cause temperature regulation throughout your home. This may be why you have cold or warm spots.
