If your furnace seems to be producing heat inconsistently around your Winston-Salem home to you, you’re not alone.

Or you might have to wear a coat and blanket just to function around the house.
Nothing spoils a nice winter evening inside your Winston-Salem home like a faulty furnace. If you discover your furnace blowing cold air into your North Carolina home, there are some possible reasons to explain why this is happening and what you can do to troubleshoot the problem.
If you have an older furnace in your Winston-Salem home, the reality is, it’s not going to be as safe as a newer furnace. Older furnaces can be lower on the safety scale for several reasons, so it helps to know what you can do to stay safe and comfortable.
