Here are a few easy steps you can check on your furnace before you visit us: Flip of a switch – The power flowing to your furnace is controlled by the furnace switch, which looks just like a light switch. There’s a possibility that it could have been flipped off on accident. Double check to make sure it’s flipped on. Furnaces generally run on timed delays, so it may take a couple minutes for it to turn on after flipping the switch. Heat it up – Long story short, confirm your heat is turned on. There are pros and cons to setting your fan to either ‘on’ or ‘auto’ through the cold weather. Weigh your options, the temperature of your home and how much you want to spend on your energy bill before you decide on the furnace setting. Don’t forget the filter – Your furnace filter is an prominent piece to maintain a protected and fresh home. Furnace filters defend your home from harmful particles in air flow and also alter your furnace’s performance. To gain the most out of your system, we propose switching your filter every three months. Circuit breaker – For one reason or another, there’s a possibility that the breaker controlling power to your furnace could have been tripped. View your circuit breaker panel and see if the switch has been switched. If it has, cycle it by turning it off and then back on. It could take a couple moments for your system to start due to the built-in time delay. If it still isn’t working, give us a call and we can help you figure out what the problem is. Furnace repair doesn’t have to be hard. As long as you’re keeping up with regular furnace service, you should be doing just fine.
