What to check before calling us for emergency heating repairs

Before requesting an emergency technician, take a few moments to perform some basic checks. You may sometimes be able to resolve the issue yourself, saving you the cost of having our team visit for a simple fix. 

Start by verifying your thermostat settings. Confirm that the system is set to the heating mode and that the target temperature is set higher than the current room temperature. A dead battery in a digital thermostat can also cause a sudden system failure, so try replacing the batteries. Keep in mind that the issue could lie with the thermostat itself, not your heating system, so if you see error codes or can’t get your thermostat to respond, you likely need professional assistance. We can diagnose and resolve thermostat problems.

Next, check your electrical panel for a tripped circuit breaker or a blown fuse. Even gas-powered furnaces rely on electricity to operate their igniters, sensors, and blower motors, meaning a simple tripped breaker will bring the entire system to a halt.

You should also inspect the power switch located directly on or near your heating equipment. This emergency shutoff looks like a standard light switch and can easily be bumped to the "off" position by mistake. 

For forced-air systems, take a look at your furnace filter. A severely clogged filter restricts airflow to the point where the equipment will overheat and shut itself down as a safety precaution. If you feel comfortable doing so, replacing a dirty filter with a clean one might be all it takes to restore your heat. 

If you have run through these basic checks and your home or business remains cold, leave the system turned off and reach out to us right away. We are ready to step in, run a complete diagnostic, and repair the underlying mechanical or electrical failure. If your system can’t be reliably repaired, we can also get work on installing a replacement.
