Understanding the Major Components of Your Gas Furnace System
Having a basic knowledge of the components of your gas furnace system will help you better understand what’s involved when Air Experts administers routine gas furnace maintenance.
The main components of a gas furnace include:
- Thermostat: A thermostat measures the temperature of the air in your house and tells the furnace ignitor when to turn on.
- Hot surface ignitor: After the thermostat has signaled it to turn on, an electrical current is sent to the ignitor, which then lights the burner.
- Burner: The furnace burner is where natural gas or propane is ignited, causing a flame that heats up a metal heat exchanger.
- Heat exchanger: The heat exchanger warms up the incoming cold air.
- Flue: The unwanted exhaust from the heat exchanger flows out of the flue to the outdoors.
- Blower: The furnace blower forces the heated air into the ductwork (supply plenum), distributing warm air throughout your home. As warm air fills the room, the colder, denser air flows back into the furnace through the return ducts.
- Return ducts: This is where cold air is returned to the furnace, where it’s reheated.
- Air filter: The air filter collects dust and debris before it enters the blower, keeping the air in your home clean.

Frequently Asked Questions
Do I need a furnace repair or replacement?
To answer this question, you need a highly trained HVAC technician to inspect and properly diagnose the problem. Once the source of your furnace problem is determined, our team can provide appropriate solutions.
At Air Experts, our goal is always to provide the most energy-efficient and cost-effective solution for you. If a repair is needed, you’ll know. If, however, your best option is furnace replacement, we can help you find the ideal solution for your needs and budget.
What does it mean when my furnace only blows cold air?
When the furnace only blows cool air, it’s usually a sign that your heat exchanger is damaged or broken. The heat exchanger is the part of your gas furnace that warms the air before it’s blown into your ducts and distributed throughout your house.
If your heat exchanger is the culprit, our heating technicians can fix the problem.
How long does a gas furnace last?
The life of your gas furnace depends on the frequency of use, how often it’s maintained, and the quality of the furnace. Many furnaces last 15 years or longer. However, the older the furnace, the less efficient it becomes, raising your energy bills.
If your furnace is getting older and needs to be serviced, consider replacing your gas furnace instead of repairing it. The newest gas furnace models are designed to be more energy-efficient, which saves you money over the long term.
