Hot Air Because of Thermostat
If your house is too hot in summer and winter, then the issue can be with the thermostat. There are many types of thermostats from analog ones that have a dial, digital ones, and smart ones that connect to your Internet.
Thermostats connect directly to the wiring that connects to your furnace. If the thermostat is broken, then it can lead to the furnace not stopping at the appropriate temperature. The thermostat is the easiest fix because all you need to do is get another and connect it to the wiring.
The cost of the thermostat depends on the type with the smart thermostats costing more than $100.
Your Roof Heat Pushes Down
Your roof is a naturally conductive heat space in both the summer and the winter. There isn’t much airflow, there’s insulation and it gets the bulk of the sun. Your roof tiles absorb considerable sunlight during the day and helps heat the attic and roof area.
When the heat gets too much, it can push down into the home and make it uncomfortable. It not only warms your home during the day but also keeps your home from cooling during the night. If you have insulation along the bottom of the roof area, then it can keep the heat from escaping into your home.
Your Furnace Doesn’t Stop
When the home reaches a specific temperature, the furnace shuts off, but if there is something wrong with the furnace then it can keep going. Since it’s running constantly, it’s constantly heating your home. You’ll need professional HVAC services to fix this issue.
There are several reasons why this happens. If the limit switch is broken, stuck buttons, or a problematic primary control, then it can lead to a constantly running furnace. In addition to overheating the home, it can cause the furnace’s components to overheat and your heating bills to skyrocket.
