How Does an Electric Furnace Provide Heat?
You can pretty easily deduce that an electric furnace doesn’t have a visible flame, and this is because the heating element consists of multiple, tightly–wound metal coils. When these coils are electrified, they become red–hot and generate the heat you need for your home. Like a gas furnace, once the air around the heating element reaches a pre–set temperature, the fan turns on and blows the warm air into the living spaces of your home until your set temperature is reached. Then the coil turns off until the next heating cycle begins.
Common Repairs We See With Electric Furnaces
You are going to need repairs for your electrical furnace at some point, and here are some of the more common types of repairs our Big Horn Heating & Cooling technicians see:
Electrical Issues
With an electrical furnace, it isn’t uncommon for one of the repairs to be electrical in nature. Sometimes coils in the heating element can malfunction, or the heating element itself malfunctions. The heating element turns on in a sequence, and sometimes this sequence can become faulty, resulting in heating problems. Tripping breakers can also occur when there is a short in the system and the furnace draws too much power.
Issues with the Blower
The blower assembly has a number of moving parts, including the fan (the blower), the motor and the fan belt. There are also ball bearing that help keep the fan and motor in motion, and safety switches that monitor the fan’s operation. Common issues that can develop with the blower assembly are worn fan belts, problems with the fan motor and bent or loose fan blades.
Low Air Flow
The biggest reason for low airflow in any furnace is a dirty air filter. Clogged air filters restrict the air in your heating system, which decreases the overall volume of air reaching your living spaces. Low air flow can also be attributed to issues with the fan.
