Check the thermostat mode and the air filter first; both are common and easy to fix. If they're fine, the cause could be airflow, an outdoor-unit part or low refrigerant, which is a job for a technician.
What warm air from the vents can meanWall heaters have their own pilot or ignition parts, and relighting or adjusting gas controls isn't something to experiment with. If you smell gas, follow the safety steps on the furnace page before anything else.
Furnace and wall heater repair, safety firstNo single number settles it. Age, how serious the failure is, recent repair history and whether it ever kept the house comfortable all count, and a technician can price both paths so you can compare.
How to weigh repair against replacementOften, if the furnace is a forced-air unit with ducts: a cooling coil, an outdoor unit and refrigerant lines are added. The blower and ducts need checking first to be sure they can move enough air for cooling.
Adding central air to a home with a furnaceUneven heating often comes down to airflow: closed or blocked vents, a clogged filter, leaky or undersized ducts, or a blower that isn't moving enough air. Open the vents and check the filter first; if rooms still lag behind, the ducts and blower are worth having looked at.
