A furnace is your winter warrior, combatting the frigid climes and keeping you and your family cozy and comfortable at all times. But this powerful device isn’t bulletproof.

Let’s take a look at a few common furnace issues and how to fix them:
Much like your air conditioner, a furnace can also break down due to a clogged or dirty air filter. Air filters prevent debris from entering the system and causing damage to the internal parts. When a filter is blocked, this restricts airflow to the device, slowing the rate at which it can heat the indoor air. The solution: replace – or clean if you have reusable filters – your air filters every few months.
If your furnace is not switching on, chances are you’re having issues with the pilot light. A pilot light is the continuously burning flame inside your furnace that ignites the fuel – i.e. the propane. It’s the reaction that heats the air inside your home. When the pilot light is not ignited, your system will automatically shut off. If you’ve tried to reignite the pilot light and your furnace is still not working, it’s time to call in the pros.
Your thermostat is the central nervous system of your heating and cooling setup. Your thermostat monitors temperatures and will activate your furnace when it needs to heat up your home. A faulty thermostat may cause your furnace to trigger at the wrong times (or not at all).
