Feeling cold air blowing out of your oil furnace can be a little irritating.
- There are a few things that you can do before calling in a professional.
If your oil furnace is blowing cold air, that means that the device is overheating. A oil furnace usually overheats because the air is not circulating respectfully. Some of the reasons the air is not circulating respectfully are, a congested vent, a blocked air filter, or an oversized oil furnace. A congested air vent is an simple fix. Every vent in your lake house should have a foot of space around it to ensure that air can respectfully circulate once it comes out. Do not block vents with furniture or items. A blocked air filter can cause several concerns because if the filter is filled with allergens, dust, dirt, pet dander, as well as other debris, no air can flow through the filter. You should change your filter every more than 2 months. When it comes to having a oil furnace, larger is not constantly better. An oversized oil furnace can blast too much warm air into a small space as well as when all that heat has nowhere to go, it gets backed up. Furnaces are supposed to heat the air, not contain boiling air. You need to find out how several BTU’S(British Thermal Units) your lake house needs as well as how several your system provides. If your system provides a number that is a lot greater than the BTU’S that your lake house needs, then your oil furnace may be oversized. Checking these more than 2 things is necessary when trying to solve the problem of your oil furnace blowing cold air. Regularly checking your air filter, as well as getting your oil furnace checked by a professional at least once a year can make the world of a difference in heating your lake house respectfully, especially during the cold Winter time months.
