Helpful Guide To Fixing Your Furnace

When heating your home is important, making sure that your furnace is operating properly is certainly a top priority. Fortunately, a few tips regarding furnace repair troubleshooting can often get your furnace back up and running again. Of course, troubleshooting HVAC problems is not always something that a homeowner should handle on their own. You can check to make sure that your system is getting power or that the air filter is not clogged or dirty, but after following the simple troubleshooting steps below, if you still have not determined the problem, further testing and repairs should be left to the professionals at Cardinal Heating and Air Conditioning.

If you are experiencing problems with your furnace, be sure to check these easy tips for troubleshooting furnace problems:

• Check to be sure your furnace is getting power. Turn the fan setting on your furnace to the "ON" position. If the fan comes on, you know you're getting power. If the fan doesn't turn on, make sure the circuit hasn't tripped by looking in the circuit breaker box. The circuit for your heating equipment should be in the "ON" position. There is also an SSU switch on your furnace that should be in the "ON" position.

• Check the thermostat to be sure that it is set to "Heat".

• Make sure that the thermostat is set to a temperature that is higher than the current temperature in the room. This should trigger your furnace to turn on and start providing heat.

• Check the furnace filter and make sure it isn't clogged or dirty; install a new one if necessary.

• Check intake vents to be sure none of them are blocked. Your furnace needs good air circulation to operate properly.

• Check air registers to ensure they are open and that warm air is coming out.
