Heating Checklist
The “Before You Call” Checklist
Some repairs are quite simple. Use this checklist before calling for a repair. It may save you time and money.
- Check the thermostat to be sure it’s set on “heat” for wintertime operation.
- Clean the contacts on a non-digital thermostat.
- Check the circuit breaker in the electrical panel to be sure it’s set in the on position. If you have fuses, check for a blown fuse.
- Is there power to the furnace? Check that all switches are in the on position.
- Has the filter been changed? A blocked filter can cause a furnace to shut down due to inadequate air flow. Similarly, are the air intake grills open and clear of obstructions?
If you’ve gone through the “Before You Call” checklist and are still having problems, contact us today for service!
Regular Maintenance Helps Prevent Surprises
Regular maintenance of your heating system will help minimize surprises. Your furnace should be tuned up once a year. Regular homeowner maintenance will help too; replacing furnace filters regularly, keeping return ducts unobstructed, and sealing ducts will all help.
