Most Common Issues with Your Furnace

Is your furnace acting up?

Not kicking on?

Is it failing to properly heat your home?

Try these troubleshooting tips before you call in the pros!

1. Check your furnace filter! Dirt and dust can quickly interrupt airflow and worsen your furnaces performance. If you hold your filter up to the light and no light can pass through the filter, it’s time for a new one! 
2. Check your thermostat! Make sure your home is set to heat. You should hear the furnace click on when the temperature drops. How old are the batteries? Replace them if they’re more than a couple of years old.
3. Check the furnace switch and electrical panel. Make sure power is turned on at the fuse box. If you need to reset your breaker, flip the switch all the way off before flipping it back on.
4. Check furnace flame for a blue color. If the flame is out, you’ll have to relight it. A yellow flame can mean that something’s wrong.
5. Ensure the front panel is secure. Some furnaces will fail to operate normally if the front access panel isn’t fully secure and pressed into place.
6. Check all vents and registers to make sure they’re open. If your vents are closed, this could be restricting air flow to properly heat your home.
