Not all furnaces have a sequencer. If you own an electric furnace, it will likely have a sequencer, but they are not found in gas furnaces. The sequencer will regulate the heating element while allowing your electric furnace to safely produce heat. How does a sequencer work exactly? What Is a Sequencer? Electric heating elements …
If your furnace is blowing cool air, you may want to check the limit switch. It’s a dual-purpose device that controls the blower and protects against excessive hot temperatures. While limit switches can fail in different ways, some forms of failure can result in cool air coming out of the supply vents. What Is a …
If your furnace is powered by natural gas, it may feature a pilot light that is responsible for igniting the burners. As you probably know, the pilot light must stay lit so that the burners will continue to burn the natural gas. If it goes out, the burners will stop working. As a result, your …

Is your furnace leaking water? Whether it’s just a few drops or a large puddle, conventional wisdom should lead you to believe that this is not normal. Furnaces don’t contain water. Rather, they use electricity or gas to warm the air. What causes furnaces to leak exactly, and how do you fix it? Restricted Airflow …
The furnace is designed to warm the air in your home by running it over a heat exchanger. The heat exchanger “exchanges” heat produced by the furnace’s heating element to the air. While some furnaces stop producing warm air when they fail, others can fail by constantly running. If your furnace constantly runs, it may …
