  2. How Does a Furnace Work? Thermostat Signals the Furnace – The thermostat detects a drop in temperature and activates the furnace. Ignition Process – The burner ignites (gas furnace) or heating elements activate (electric furnace). Heat Production – The heat exchanger warms the air passing over it. Air Circulation – The blower fan pushes warm air through ducts into rooms. Exhaust Removal – Combustion gases exit safely through the flue (for gas furnaces). Shutoff – The furnace turns off once the desired temperature is reached.

  3. Common Causes of a Furnace Blowing Cold Air Incorrect Thermostat Settings – Set to "heat" mode and check the temperature. Dirty Air Filter – A clogged filter restricts airflow, causing heating issues. Pilot Light or Ignition Failure – A faulty ignition system prevents heat production. Overheating Furnace – The system shuts down if it overheats due to poor airflow. Clogged Condensate Line – A blockage can trigger a safety shutdown. Low Gas Supply or Fuel Issues – Insufficient gas or fuel prevents proper heating. Ductwork Leaks – Leaks in the duct system let warm air escape before reaching rooms.

  4. Troubleshooting Tips For Furnace Blowing Cold Air Check the Thermostat – Ensure it’s set to “heat” mode and at the right temperature. Inspect the Air Filter – Replace a dirty or clogged filter to improve airflow. Verify the Pilot Light/Ignition – Relight the pilot or check for ignition system issues. Reset the Furnace – Turn it off and back on to reset any safety shutoff. Check the Gas Supply – Ensure the gas valve is open and the supply is sufficient. Examine the Ductwork – Look for leaks or blockages that may reduce warm air flow. Call a Professional – If the issue persists, schedule a furnace repair service in Toronto with our experienced technicians to ensure optimal heating performance.

  5. Maintenance Tips to Prevent Furnace Blowing Cold Air Set Thermostat Correctly – Ensure it's in "heat" mode and at the right temperature. Replace Air Filters Regularly – Clean filters improve airflow and heating efficiency Inspect the Pilot Light/Ignition – Make sure the ignition system is functioning properly. Clean Vents and Ducts – Remove dust and debris to ensure proper airflow. Check the Gas Supply – Ensure the gas valve is open and the supply is steady. Clear the Condensate Drain – Prevent clogs that can shut down the system. Schedule Regular Professional Maintenance – Annual servicing keeps the furnace in top condition.

  6. Key Takeaways & Next Steps Common Causes: Thermostat issues, clogged filters, ignition failures, or duct leaks. Solutions: Routine troubleshooting and maintenance prevent major problems. Next Step: Keep your furnace in top shape with regular servicing.
