If your furnace isn't keeping your home at the right temperature, it can be frustrating.
There are several reasons why this might be happening.
Let's break down six common causes and what you can do about them.
Why is my furnace not maintaining temperature? 6 Common Reasons Explained
1. Broken Thermostat
A broken thermostat can cause your furnace to misread the temperature.
This means it won't adjust the furnace properly, leading to inconsistent heating.
2. Thermostat Set Too Low
If your thermostat is set too low, your furnace won't run long enough to reach the desired temperature.
Make sure it's set to the right level for your comfort.
3. Out Pilot Light
For gas furnaces, a pilot light that goes out can stop the furnace from producing heat.
Check if the pilot light is lit and relight it if necessary.
4. Blown Fuse or Circuit Breaker
A tripped circuit breaker or blown fuse can cut power to your furnace.
Check your fuse box or circuit breaker panel and reset or replace as needed.
5. Closed Gas Valve
A closed gas valve in a gas furnace will prevent fuel from reaching the furnace.
Ensure the valve is open to allow the furnace to produce heat.
6. Electronic Ignition Problems
If your furnace uses an electronic ignition system, any issues with this system can prevent the furnace from igniting.
Check the ignition components to ensure they are functioning properly.
