STEPS TO TAKE BEFORE MAKING THAT 24 HR EMERGENCY CALL

First and foremost, we highly suggest you check the circuit breaker and your service switch. Checking the status of other electrical devices in your home will help identify whether or not it is in fact the circuit breaker. Also, check the service switch on your furnace, which is typically located on the side of the furnace to ensure that it is in the on position. Often times homeowners turn this switch off in the warmer seasons and forget to switch it back on when the cold weather months arrive.

Next, if you determine it is not your breaker or your furnace switch, then perhaps the problem lies with your air filter. If the air filter on your furnace has accumulated a good deal of dirt and dust it can result in blockages that will minimize the amount of hot air that is blown and over time completely shut down the furnace. Changing out your air filter will allow the furnace to filter warm air again.

The next step you can take when your furnace is not working is to check your thermostat settings. Often times homeowners will forget to switch the setting to the heat mode and when turning on the furnace will get no heat at all. If you have a programmable thermostat and it is not registering appropriate temperature readings, chances are it needs a battery replacement to get it up and running again and generate needed heat in your home.

Finally, we strongly suggest you inspect your furnace to ensure that the blower motor is working properly and the pilot light is lit if equipped with a pilot light. In addition, if your furnace is run on propane you may want to take a moment to make certain you have not run out of propane fuel.
