There are many reasons why a heating system might not be working. Here are some of the most common:
- Dirty air filter. A dirty air filter can restrict airflow and prevent your heating system from working properly. You should change your air filter every 1-3 months, depending on the type of filter you have.
- Blocked or leaky ducts. Blocked or leaky ducts can also restrict airflow and prevent your heating system from working properly. If you suspect that your ducts are blocked or leaky, you should contact us to have them inspected by a qualified HVAC technician.
- Thermostat problems. If your thermostat is not working properly, it may not be sending the correct signal to your heating system. This can prevent your heating system from turning on or working at all. If you suspect that your thermostat is not working properly, you should have it replaced or repaired by one of our qualified HVAC technicians.
- Furnace problems. If your furnace is old or damaged, it may not be able to heat your home properly. If you suspect that your furnace is not working properly, you should immediately have it inspected by one of our skilled experts.
- Pilot light out. If you have a gas furnace, the pilot light may have gone out. This can prevent your furnace from igniting and heating your home. If the pilot light is out, you can usually relight it yourself by following the instructions in your furnace's owner's manual. If you are unable to relight the pilot light, you should contact us.
- Power outage. If there is a power outage, your heating system will not be able to work. If there is a power outage, you should wait until the power is restored before using your heating system.
