It can also be a great time to hunker down on the couch, grab a blanket and enjoy the warm, soothing comfort coming from your heat registers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>But what happens if you settle in only to find \u2013 gasp \u2013 cool air blowing from the register? Don&#8217;t panic yet. Cool air from your heat vents doesn\u2019t always mean you have to make a late-night call to us. There are a number of perfectly normal explanations that you can remedy yourself.<\/p>\n<h3>Check the thermostat<\/h3>\n<p>First, take a look at the brain of your comfort system \u2013 the\u00a0thermostat\u00a0\u2013 and check for the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Make sure it is set for heating, and not for cooling.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li>Check the fan setting. The \u201con\u201d setting circulates air continuously whether it\u2019s been heated or not. Change it to \u201cauto\u201d so it only blows warm air into your home.<\/li>\n<li>Compare the temperature setting to the actual temperature in the home. You may need to turn up the set temperature for more heating comfort.<\/li>\n<li>If you have a\u00a0programmable thermostat, review temperature settings and make sure they still line up with when you are home or away from home.\u00a0<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Check the furnace filter<\/h3>\n<p>Check your filter and if it\u2019s dirty, replace it. In some cases, a clogged, dirty filter might restrict airflow enough to affect your comfort. Or in more extreme cases, an overly dirty filter can cause the\u00a0furnace\u00a0to overheat and shut down.\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3>Signs that it\u2019s time to call A&amp;L Heating and Cooling<\/h3>\n<p>Unfortunately, sometimes cool air from the register DOES mean an issue is lurking that we will need to address. Knowing what to look for can help us get to the issue \u2013 and the resolution \u2013 a little quicker.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Fan limit switch<\/strong>: A malfunctioning fan limit switch might cause the furnace blower to circulate cool air when the furnace isn\u2019t heating, or shut it down completely<\/li>\n<li><strong>Flame sensor<\/strong>: If the temperature inside is cooler than the thermostat\u2019s setting, or if the furnace turns on and off repeatedly, a flame sensor may be malfunctioning.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Leaking ducts<\/strong>: If air from the registers is cooler and\/or weaker than usual, and you notice higher heating bills, your air ducts may be leaking.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Pilot light is out<\/strong>: If you have a pre-1990s furnace, a furnace blowing cool air or shutting down may indicate that the pilot light is out. Follow the manufacturer\u2019s instructions to re-light.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If you do end up contacting us,\u00a0doing a little advanced troubleshooting might help make the process faster, more efficient, and maybe save a little time on the service call.<\/p>\n<p>If you need help with service, please don&#8217;t hesitate to call us on &#8211; (330) 456-3011<\/p>\n<p>Serving Stark County for for 70 years.<\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Winter can be a real gut-check with its cold, blustery wind, rush-hour snow storms and some downright frigid nights.
