Clogged air filters could be causing cold air to blow out of your vents. A dirty air filter can block airflow over your furnace’s heat exchanger, which can cause it to overheat.

Why does my air work but not heat?

A Faulty Thermostat Try turning on the thermostat and adjusting the temperature so that your HVAC is turned on. If it fails to come on, check the circuit breaker and ensure that the switch is functioning properly. If you find that it had tripped, turn it back on. This should fix the problem.

Why is my furnace running but no heat is coming out?

Dirty filters are the most common cause of furnace problems. Dust and dirt restrict airflow—and if the filter gets too clogged, the heat exchanger will overheat and shut off too quickly, and your house won’t warm up. If the blower is running but no heat is coming out, replace the filter.

How strong should heat come out of vents?

Whether you’re cooling or heating your home, Delta T should always be somewhere between 16°–22° F according to most professionals (14°–20° F according to others).

Why is my heat coming out cold in my house?

Why is there no air coming from my AC unit?

Track the distance between this vent and your AC unit. If the rooms in your home that are getting no air are the farthest away from your unit, you can attribute a lack of air flow to an under powered or overpowered unit. An under-powered unit simply will not have enough strength to push the cooled air into every corner of your home.

Why is there a hole in my ceiling vent?

If you’ve got just a little air coming through the vent, the ductwork leading to the room may be leaky or full of holes. This problem is actually pretty common. According to ENERGY STAR, “In a typical house, however, about 20 to 30 percent of the air that moves through the duct system is lost due to leaks, holes, and poorly connected ducts.”
