Cold nights will be your nightmare when the furnace doesn’t heat. With a little do-it-yourself experience, you can troubleshoot and repair your furnace yourself. It may sound silly, but check the thermostat to ensure it is set on "heat" and that it is set at least five degrees above room temperature. You might be surprised how many service calls are made without checking this! Check the battery on the thermostat. You may need to change the batteries on your thermostat. If your home's thermostat unit runs on batteries, be sure you are changing them at least once a year, or as needed. Some thermostats are wired to the house’s electrical system, while others use batteries. How is yours powered? Sometimes those that use batteries will flash a low-battery symbol when they need a replacement. Open the thermostat and gently blow any dust or debris that may have clogged it. Make sure the date and time is correct on electronic or programmable models - the system may be on a timer. Check the breaker. If on, turn off the breaker and check the fuse for the furnace. If these tips don’t work then give us a call or contact our customer support. Calling a Pro is the best way to get furnace repair and maintenance. Make sure you are handy enough before starting doing the steps above yourself. Safety comes first.
