Why is my furnace only blowing cold air?

What type of furnace do you have?electric


How does a furnace generate heat?

In a normal house furnace a fan forces air through an exchanger. This usually consists of some pipes or tubes. A fire on the outside of the tubes heats the air inside the tubes as it passes. The force of the fan also pushes the air along duct work and the warmed air comes out floor vents or regesters. The suction of the fan draws air from through out the house through the larger wall mounted cold air vents. The air passes through a filter and then into the fan where it is then sent to the exchanger. The thermostat that you set for the desired temperature measures the room temperature. When the temperature falls below the set point the thermostat sends a signal to the furnace to start the fan and then turn on the flame. When the temperature at the thermostat rises above set point the signal to the furnace is shut down, the fire goes out and the fan stops.


What is difference between electric oven and furnace?

An oven heats objects inside of a chamber, a furnace heats the air around it.


Why do your pipes make a noise in the wall?

Two primary reasons: There is air trapped in the pipes. It causes vibrations when it is subjected to compression. It can be releaved by bleeding air out of the piping and installing special piping devices to the pipes. The pipes themselves are expanding and contracting due to the changes in temperature, rubbing against their brackets and the supporting lumber.


Why is duct tape called that?

Duct tape was invented to tape around joints in an air duct on a furnace. The ducts are square or round tubes that carry warmed air from the furnace to the floor registers in each room. If the joints are not taped, valuable warm air will leak out of the joints.
