Modern day home furnaces tend to run off gas or electricity or induction (a reaction of electricity and metal to create heat). They are much safer and contained than their older counterparts, are the cornerstone for most modern central heating units, producing high amounts of heat that feed into a ventilation system and flow throughout all of the connected rooms. Small furnaces, usually electrical, are often attached to boilers and water heaters to apply the necessary energy in order to give us hot showers and scalding sink faucets, or even to circulate heat from the boiler to heat our home. Unfortunately, there is no such a device immune to malfunction. If your Admiral furnace has some difficulties in functioning, it is time to run diagnostics. It is better to start with a capacitor check. Capacitors are a part of the fan motor in your furnace. They are generally divided into two types, both of which provide electricity to the furnace apparatus at key times. The first kind of capacitor is a start capacitor, which helps the motor start up when you first turn on your heater. There is also a run capacitor: used in furnaces, HVAC systems and AC units of all varieties. They provide a steady supply of electricity to the fan motors (used to help the blowers move hot air through your system). Obviously, both types of capacitor need to be running smoothly in order for your furnace to function. Otherwise, your furnace won’t be able to heat your home. Electrical problems can usually be hunted down and corrected by a trained professional armed with a multimeter or similar piece of equipment. Still, your problem may be nothing more than a dead battery in a programmable thermostat, or just a thermostat that has finally bit the dust and seen its last days. Run a full diagnostic to be sure your Admiral furnace is functioning properly.
