Simple Troubleshooting Tips Before Calling a Professional

Before scheduling a service call, you can check a few common issues that may be causing your furnace to malfunction:

• Thermostat Settings: Ensure it is set to “heat” and the desired temperature is above the room temperature.
• Power Supply: Confirm your furnace has electricity and that breakers or switches haven’t tripped.
• Air Filter: A clogged filter can restrict airflow and trigger safety switches. Replace or clean filters as needed.
• Pilot or Ignition System: Some units have pilot lights or electronic ignition systems that may need attention.

These quick checks can sometimes solve minor problems and may help you avoid unnecessary downtime.

Tips to Keep Your Furnace Running Smoothly

• Schedule annual inspections to catch potential problems early.

• Keep the area around your furnace clear of debris.
• Pay attention to unusual noises, smells, or performance changes and call a professional immediately.

Step-by-Step Furnace Troubleshooting Checklist

1. Check the Thermostat
   • Digital thermostats: Ensure it’s set to “heat” and batteries are working. Set temperature 5°F above room temp.
   • Smart thermostats: Follow manufacturer instructions; call us if the issue persists.
2. Inspect Breakers and Switches
   • Confirm the furnace breaker hasn’t tripped. Reset only if safe; call if it trips again.
   • Verify furnace wall switches are turned “on.”
3. Replace the Air Filter
   • Dirty filters restrict airflow and can cause damage. Replace flat filters monthly, pleated filters every 3 months, and washable filters according to manufacturer instructions.
4. Check the Condensate Pan
   • Look for water buildup, ensure drain pipes are clear, and verify float switches function properly.
5. Review Furnace Error Codes
   • Any blinking or unusual lights may indicate a system fault requiring professional attention.
6. Confirm Fuel Supply
   • Check other gas appliances to ensure your natural gas or propane supply is active.
