If your furnace isn’t working properly, there are a few things you can check before reaching out to a professional for help.First, make sure that the thermostat is set to the temperature you want. If the thermostat uses batteries, check if they need changing and replace them if needed.
Next, take a look at the air filter to see if it’s dirty or clogged with debris. A blocked filter can restrict airflow and lead to the furnace overheating and shutting down.
Check that the vents are clear and not blocked by furniture or other objects. It’s important to ensure that air can flow freely through them.
Inspect the circuit breaker to see if the furnace circuit has tripped. If it has, reset the breaker to restore power to the furnace.
For older gas furnaces, check the pilot light. If it’s out, follow the instructions in the owner’s manual to relight it safely.
If your furnace runs on gas, confirm that the gas supply is uninterrupted. Make sure the gas valve is open to allow the flow of gas to the furnace.
Try resetting the system by turning the furnace off and then on again. Give it a few minutes to restart and recalibrate itself.
