Calling in the Professionals
• Sometimes the problem is incredibly simple, but you may not know what it is until you hire someone for heating repair.
• Don’t wait until it’s too late to repair. If you have a problem, call as soon as possible.
1. No Air Comes Out
• This could be caused by any number of things: – A bad thermostat – Overheated thermostat – Fan motors, belts, bearings
• You will need to call in help from a local HVAC company.
2. Broken Thermostat
• If you do have a problem with the thermostat, replacing it is easy enough.
• Make sure you buy a new thermostat that is programmable.
3. Clogged Filters
• Can cause problems with air flow and comfort.
• Dirty filters can carry airborne illnesses, making it easier for you to get sick.
• Check your air filter on a monthly basis and replace it every three months.
4. Extinguished Pilot Light
• If the pilot isn’t lit, or the ignition control isn’t functioning properly, your heat may not even turn on.
• Make sure that the pilot light is lit every winter.
• Don’t turn off the pilot until you’re sure the cold season is over.
5. Overall Lack of Maintenance
• If your system isn’t working at its peak capability, it might just be a lack of maintenance that is the problem.
• Make sure to have someone check on your HVAC system every year.
Call in Professionals to Help
• Call someone that will be willing to give you a quote beforehand.
