We’re heading toward the colder weather seasons now, and you may find yourself with a heating system that’s either giving you inadequate heat or no heat at all. We’re glad to help, but you might not need our professional assistance. Sometimes there’s a simple oversight behind your heating woes. We’re going to go over some basic troubleshooting steps to take before you reach out to our technicians for professional heating repairs.
Basic Heating System Troubleshooting Steps
Before you pick up the phone to call us, try these simple checks. You may find that the problem is something easy to fix on your own:
Check the Thermostat
Make sure the thermostat is set to the right mode (heat) and the temperature is set high enough to signal the heater to turn on. Sometimes, thermostats can be bumped or accidentally adjusted, causing the system not to run.
Inspect the Air Filter
A clogged or dirty air filter can restrict airflow, causing your heater to struggle or even shut down. If your filter looks dusty or hasn’t been changed in a while, replace it and see if your heating improves.
Look at the Circuit Breaker
Check the breaker panel to see if the circuit controlling your heating system has tripped. If it has, reset it and monitor to see if the heater resumes working. If the breaker continues to trip, there may be an electrical issue requiring our help.
Make Sure Vents Are Open and Unblocked
Closed or obstructed vents can prevent heat from distributing evenly throughout your home. Walk around and ensure all supply and return vents are fully open and not covered by furniture or rugs.
Check the Pilot Light (For Gas Furnaces)
If you have an older gas furnace with a pilot light, make sure it’s lit. If it’s out, follow the manufacturer’s instructions to relight it, or call us for assistance if you’re unsure how to do it safely.
Don’t Try Doing Repairs Yourself!
While these troubleshooting steps are easy enough for most homeowners to handle, we strongly advise against attempting any heating repairs beyond the basic checks we’ve listed. Your heating system is a complex piece of equipment, and DIY repairs can lead to more damage, safety hazards, or voided warranties. Let our trained and certified technicians handle the repairs to keep your home warm and safe.
