When your heater blinks a light at you, it’s like it’s trying to have a conversation in its own secret language. Each blink is a message, and decoding it can help you figure out what’s going on. Here’s a simple guide to understanding the blinking lights on your furnace:

Count the Blinking Lights:

The number of blinks often carries a message. Take note of how many times the light blinks in a row.

Check the Pattern of the Blinking Lights:

Is it a steady blink, or is there a specific pattern? Sometimes, the rhythm of the blinks is the key to understanding the message.

Refer to the Manual about the blinking lights and your furnace:

Your furnace’s manual is like its dictionary. It usually has a section that decodes the blinking light patterns. Look for a troubleshooting or diagnostic section in the manual. If you can’t find the manual for your furnace, look on the backside of the cover of your furnace as it may be placed there for easy reference. 

Search Online:

The internet is a treasure trove of information. If the manual is nowhere to be found, try searching online for your furnace’s make and model along with “blinking light codes.” You might find forums or guides with the information you need.

When it comes to furnace maintenance, it’s important to consider the climate in which you live. With our Saskatchewan extremes of hot summers and cold winters, it’s crucial to have your furnace inspected, cleaned, and potentially replaced on a regular basis.

First and foremost, it is recommended that you have your furnace inspected annually by the professionals at Gibbon’s Heating & Air Conditioning. This will ensure that your furnace is in good working condition and that any potential issues are caught before they become a problem. During the inspection, a technician will check for things like leaks, cracks, and wear and tear, as well as perform routine maintenance, such as cleaning the air filter.

In addition to annual inspections, it’s also important to have your furnace cleaned on a regular basis. Dust, dirt, and other debris can accumulate in the furnace over time, causing it to work harder and less efficiently. A professional cleaning from Bridge City Duct Cleaning will help keep your furnace running smoothly and can even extend its lifespan.

If your furnace is more than 15 years old and it’s not working as efficiently as it used to, it may be time to consider a replacement. With new technology, furnaces are becoming more energy-efficient and can help you save money on your energy bills in the long run.

Overall, the frequency of furnace maintenance will depend on the age and condition of your furnace. It is important to have your furnace inspected and cleaned annually and if it is not working as efficiently as it should, it may be time to consider a replacement. By keeping up with regular maintenance, you can ensure that your furnace will keep you warm during the cold winter months and running efficiently all year round.
