Winter is just around the corner, so you will want to make sure that your furnace has been tuned up if you haven’t had it looked at recently. The last thing you want is to be stuck inside of your home without heat during a horrible snowstorm in December, right? That’s why it is so important that you schedule a furnace tune-up or repair appointment before the winter season arrives.
There are a number of things that could contribute to your home not getting any heat, and you definitely don’t want to ignore them. Here are a few signs that may indicate that you need to make a heating repair appointment:
- Dirty air filters: Not only will this cause comfort problems, but it will also make the air in your home dirty. It’s suggested that the air filters be changed out every couple of months to keep temperature levels consistent and ensure your home’s air stays clean.
- Thermostat malfunctions: If your thermostat is broken and it can’t tell your furnace what temperature to heat to, chances are the unit won’t heat at all. Don’t rush to conclusions that it’s your furnace that needs repairing—instead, call in a heating expert to double-check.
- Airflow problems: If air is not properly circulating through the system, it can overheat and shut down. The last few weeks of winter will be long, and expensive, ones if you don’t fix this problem. It will just continue to cycle on and off, wasting your money.
- Pilot or ignition control problems: In many cases, the reason a home is not getting any heat is that the pilot light will not stay on. You may be able to relight it yourself, but if not, it’s best to schedule a heating repair appointment with a professional.
