We are making our way through the last several weeks of winter but we still need our furnaces, especially during cool nights. Not much is worse than turning in at night and realizing your furnace won’t kick on. If your furnace won’t turn on, here are some things you can check yourself prior to calling Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning.
Check Air Filters
You should replace standard air filters each month. If you do not, they can get clogged, restricting air flow and causing your furnace to malfunction.
Check Your Thermostat
Start by turning the thermostat up a few degrees to get the furnace to turn on. If the true room temperature is higher than the thermostat, the heating system won’t turn on. Also, make sure the system switch is on “heat” or “auto.”
Check the Power
It may seem silly, but verify the power switch next to the furnace is “On.” Even gas heating equipment uses electricity so confirm the breaker has not tripped and that the power switch has not been accidently switched to the “Off” position.
If you inspect all these things and your heating system will still not start up, give Service Experts Heating & Air Conditioning a call at 321-428-7635 and we’ll come out and get you heating again as soon as possible.
