Troubleshooting a Furnace That Doesn’t Emit Heat

Your furnace does only one thing—produce heat to make your home comfortable. There’s something wrong with it, however, if it doesn’t do so. Fortunately, you can perform some troubleshooting on the system without opening and tinkering its components.

Superior Air, your local heating and air conditioning maintenance contractor, offers these simple steps you can do to solve this issue with your furnace.

Check Your Thermostat

Begin your troubleshooting by checking your thermostat. It might be set to “cool,” which is why the heating system isn’t pumping warm air. Switch it to “heat” to fix the problem. If it is on the right setting, however, see to it that it is set at the right set temperature.

See If the Furnace Is On

Check the fuse that supplies power to the whole equipment. You can also check if its emergency power switch was turned off by accident. When all is fine but the furnace doesn’t operate still, it’s possible that the batteries in the thermostat have been fully drained. Replace them with new ones to make the system work again.

Reset the Furnace

Your heating and air conditioning installation pros would also recommend resetting your furnace. Check the manufacturer’s manual to find the reset button of the system. It should begin working normally soon after.

Remove Dirt from the Filters

Filth in your furnace filters limits the flow of air, causing the heating components to overheat. It may This can damage the interior parts of the system further. Make it a habit to clean or replace the filters regularly to ensure your furnace works well and emits heat.
