Why is Your Heater Blowing Cold Air?
Depending on the type of system, there are a few possible explanations for why your heater is blowing cold air. If you have a forced-air heating system, which most people do, the most likely culprit is a problem with the blower motor.
The blower motor is responsible for circulating air through the system, and if it isn't working properly, the air will never get warm.
You may have a freon leak. This is the refrigerant that heat pumps used. It is used to both transfer heat in and out of the house, so if there isn’t enough, your system won’t work properly.
If you have a furnace, one possibility is that the burner isn’t working properly. The burner is what actually produces heat, so if it isn't working correctly, the air will remain cold.
For both heat pumps and furnaces, there could be a problem with the thermostat or air filter. If the thermostat isn't set correctly, it won't signal the heater to turn on when it should. As a result, the room will stay cold even though the heater is operational.
While these are some of the most common reasons why heaters blow cold air, there could be other issues at play as well. It's best to call a professional for help. We will be able to diagnose and fix the problem quickly so that you can get back to being comfortable in your home.
How to Prevent Heater Problems
Because your heater is such a big investment, you’ll want to protect it. The best way to keep your system in top shape and avoid repairs is to keep up with routine maintenance.

Had AC issues this summer. Enrique came out inspected my system, performed a thorough leak test, and charged the refrigerant to the needed level. Then retested for leaks. The unit is 10 years old. He was knowledgeable, courteous, and efficient. At the end, he summarized what he had done and what to watch for going forward. The cost was very reasonable. Very pleased with this service call.
