Troubleshooting Your Furnace
While our expert technicians are always just a phone call away and eager to help, there are some things that homeowners can do to troubleshoot their furnace before calling for emergency repairs. We never recommend that an unlicensed person attempt furnace repair on their own as this can be detrimental to their health, there are a few things that a homeowner can do to ensure their furnace truly does need expert intervention. Before calling the experts at HAMCO make sure to try these steps:
- Double-check that your thermostat is set to HEAT and not COOL
- Replace the batteries in your thermostat
- Make sure that your furnace switch wasn’t accidentally turned off (this can be common because often furnace switches look just like regular light switches)
- Check that your furnace hasn’t tripped its breaker
- Make sure the front panel door is securely shut
- Change your furnace filter
- Open all vents in your home
- Ensure that your furnace’s external intake pipe is not clogged with leaves or snow
- Be sure your furnace switch is labelled
- External pipes (intake and exhaust) are not blocked, i.e. leaves, plastic bags, snow
