If you notice that your gas furnace is cutting on and off frequently, the issue could be a dirty blower wheel. Dirty blower wheels can kill your HVAC system and you may find yourself searching your phone for “HVAC service Mt. Pleasant SC". A dirty blower wheel is a common problem that can lead to higher energy costs and expensive repairs.
Regular HVAC maintenance from a top Mt. Pleasant HVAC company can help prevent these issues!
A blower wheel has blades that are designed to push air around and and build-up of dirt on those blades will cause your blower motor to work harder.
This causes more power consumption and pushes less air. When as little as 1/10th of an inch of dust accumulates on your blower wheel, it can reduce your furnaces efficiency by 20%.
Dust accumulation will cause the unit to run hotter, and this can ultimately lower the lifespan of your furnace.
If a blower wheel is allowed to get extremely dirty, your furnace and air conditioner may break down completely, and then you are in for it. Your heat exchanger depends on cool air moving across it to keep it from over heating. Your air conditioner coil depends on warmer air to keep it from freezing. A dirty blower wheel impairing air flow to your system eventually cause failure!
During routine maintenance, a Mt. Pleasant HVAC technician from Carney & Son 72 Degrees will inspect your blower wheel. If it dusty, it will be cleaned (see before and after picture).
