Top Reasons Why Your Heater Is Blowing Cold Air

Your heating system should produce warm air to keep your home at the temperature indicated on your thermostat. If it’s blowing cold air, there could be something wrong with your unit or the thermostat.

In this post, Green Air Heating and Air Conditioning, Inc. — one of the area’s most trusted HVAC contractors — discusses the common reasons why this problem occurs.

Inaccurate Thermostats

Thermostat inaccuracy happens due to electrical or age-related performance issues. That said, technicians must check thermostats to ensure the accuracy of the device and your heating system’s energy efficiency.

Dirty Air Filters

Trapped dust and debris on air filters will cause heaters to work extra hard to warm your rooms. Clean or replace the air filter regularly to reduce energy consumption and achieve consistent temperatures.

Overheated Unit

An overheated system is often the result of dirt buildup, mechanical failure or age. You’ll need to replace air filters to remove dirt buildup or have an HVAC repair technician investigate why your heater is blowing cold air.

Clogged Condensate Drains

Condensation buildup will clog up the heater’s pipes. This is a typical symptom of an overworked heater, which is a common problem during winter. Call an HVAC company to remove the blockage in the condensate drains.

Pilot Light Outage

A pilot light outage will cause heaters to blow cold air. Have qualified technicians check the pilot light to know why it has failed and to restore your unit’s heating capacity. Smart HVAC system technicians can also mitigate the risk of further damage.

Customer Testimonials

Our clients love the energy solutions we provide!

Nick is very well educated on the products industry. He has been in the industry for years now and knows more than anyone else I have spoken to. Its very refreshing to have the owner of the company come out to talk to you about your options compared to a door to door sales guy who cant even answer the most basic questions. Im very happy with the service and attention to detail.

These guys actually know what they are doing and do what they say they are going to do. They are capable in many areas including installing solar panels, Tesla batteries and also HVAC. They complete the whole job with their own employees rather than using outside contractors. We were really pleased with the results on three separate jobs. Thanks.

Nick and Green Air installed our Solar One year ago, it has exceeded its projected output and works great! The work was started and completed on time and Green Air completed all the extra work such as getting permits from the city of Benicia. Green Air employees cleaned up their work site daily and they were a pleasure to work with. I love the fact that we have shrunk our carbon footprint.

Our solar was installed on our house earlier this year. I found Nick and Green Air to be extremely professional, responsive to questions and started and completed the job on time. Nick has a very strong work ethic and was competitive in his pricing as compared to other companies. It’s also nice to know that PG & E is now my customer!
