Why Your Furnace Blows Cold Air

Nothing frustrates homeowners more than a furnace that runs but produces chilly air instead of the warmth you need. Several issues can cause this problem, and identifying the culprit quickly matters for your comfort and your system's health.

South Shore Mechanical can help you resolve underlying furnace issues like:

  • Incorrect thermostat settings. Your thermostat might be set to "ON" rather than "AUTO," causing the blower to run continuously even when the furnace isn't actively heating, or the temperature setting may simply be too low for your comfort level.
  • Dirty air filters. A clogged filter restricts airflow to the point where your furnace overheats and shuts off its burners as a safety measure, leaving only the blower running and pushing unheated air through your vents.
  • Pilot light or ignition issues. Gas furnaces with extinguished pilot lights or malfunctioning electronic ignition systems can't generate heat, so the blower continues operating while the burners remain off.
  • Flame sensor problems. A dirty or failing flame sensor may incorrectly signal that no flame is present, causing the system to shut down the burners while the fan continues to run through your ductwork.
  • Fuel supply interruptions. Running out of oil, having your gas valve accidentally turned off, or experiencing a gas line issue prevents fuel from reaching the burners, leaving your system unable to produce warmth.

These problems range from simple fixes to repairs that need professional attention. Our technicians can diagnose the exact cause and get your furnace heating properly again.

Gas vs. Electric Furnaces

Selecting between a gas and electric furnace depends on your home's infrastructure, your budget, and your long-term heating priorities. Gas furnaces typically cost less to operate in our region, thanks to lower natural gas prices compared to electricity rates. They also heat homes faster, which can be a real advantage during bitter cold snaps. Gas-powered furnaces require access to a gas line and proper venting, but they deliver powerful, efficient warmth for larger homes. 

Electric furnaces, meanwhile, need no gas connection or venting system, making installation simpler and often less expensive upfront. They're safer in some respects since there's no combustion involved, require less maintenance, and work well for smaller spaces or homes without existing gas service. Electric models also tend to have longer lifespans. 

Unsure which type of furnace is the right fit for your home? Our team can assess your property, discuss your comfort preferences and budget, and help you determine which option best suits your situation.
