We are trudging through the last several weeks of winter but we still have to have our furnaces, especially during cool nights. There’s not a lot that is worse than going to bed at night just to find out your furnace won’t start up. If this happens to you, here are a couple things you can check yourself before calling Orangutan Home Services.
Check Air Filters
You should change standard air filters every 30 days. If you do not, they can get clogged, restricting air flow and resulting in a furnace malfunction.
Check Your Thermostat
See if turning the temperature up a few degrees will get the furnace to turn on. If the current room temperature is higher than the thermostat, the heating system won’t turn on. Also, verify the system switch is on “heat” or “auto.”
Check the Power
It may seem silly, but make sure the power switch next to the heating equipment is “On.” Even gas heating systems use electricity so make sure the breaker has not tripped and that the power switch wasn’t accidently moved to the “Off” position.
If you check all these things and your furnace will still not kick on, give Orangutan Home Services a call at 602-906-0111 and we’ll come out and get you taken care of as soon as possible.
