Maintenance FAQ

Heat Issues

Is the system selector switch in the “HEAT” position?
Is the temperature set at least 3 degrees above the current room temperature?
If your thermostat is electronic, Are the batteries charged? Is the display showing? Replace the battery. If you have a power outage with dead battery, you will lose your settings and the thermostat will revert to the default settings.
Make sure Thermostat is set to the “Auto” position.
(FOR FORCED AIR FURNACES ONLY) If your thermostat has a switch to control the furnace fan, switch the fan “ON”. (this switch is usually located on the bottom of the thermostat marked “ON’ and “AUTO”.) Listen for the furnace fan to come on. If you can’t hear the fan, go to the vents to see if you feel any air coming out. If no air is coming out there maybe no power to the furnace.
In most homes the emergency shut off switch looks like a regular light switch and will be located on the side or close to the furnace. Make sure it is in the “ON” position.
If your home has breakers, check to see if any are tripped. If the breaker has been tripped it will be in a position that is between ON and OFF. Reset the breaker by turning it all the way OFF, then back ON.
