To keep you warm during the winter, your heater—a heat pump, a gas furnace, or something else—must operate properly. Regrettably, a variety of significant and minor problems can lead to this.

Is your furnace not responding to the thermostat? Not turning on? Turning off in the middle of the heating cycle? Or having other problems? To help you understand what's happening, we've put together this brief guide of the 5 most common reasons the heat stops working:

1. Burning an Abundance of Gas

To burn the proper amount of fuel, gas furnaces must be appropriately calibrated; if they burn too much gas, they may overheat and shut off in the middle of a cycle. Therefore,  HVAC services in Tulare and Fresno should preferably perform a combustion analysis yearly to ensure that your furnace is still burning the recommended amount of gas.

2. Dead Blower Capacitor

The capacitor starts your furnace; if it's dead, your furnace won't work, and you won't have any heat. Broken capacitors can either prevent the furnace from starting altogether in some situations or cause a problem by running the blower at extremely low RPMs.

HVAC specialists check capacitor tolerances during annual routine maintenance visits because this is a reasonably frequent reason for heater malfunctions. If they find a problem, you can take preventive action.

3. Heat Pumps With Low Refrigerant

Your refrigerant levels may be low if you observe inconsistent warmth or unforeseen high energy bills. Heat pumps, like air conditioners, require the proper refrigerant level to operate correctly. You can top off levels and boost the refrigerant charge with the aid of an HVAC expert.

4. A Draft Inducer Motor That Is Burnt Out

The inducer motor vents the gases produced during combustion and cleans the gas out of the heat exchanger. This fan motor may draw high amps and possibly burn down if dirt and grime accumulate. On the other hand, excessive warmth might trigger safety switches, which would shut down the furnace.

5. Heater Exchanger With Cracks

A damaged heater exchanger could be why your heater isn't working. Unfortunately, this issue affects your appliance's energy efficiency long before it causes a system fault.
