Keeping your home warm during winter can be a challenge. Even with the best heating system, things can go wrong from time to time. If your system isn’t heating as it should, it could be for a number of reasons. If you’re experiencing problems with your heating system, it’s important to troubleshoot the problem as soon as possible so you can get it fixed. In most cases, the problem will correct itself once you’ve addressed the issue. But before you call for repairs, there are a few things you can do to troubleshoot your heating system yourself. Once you know what the problem is, you can call for repair services and have it fixed as soon as possible. The sooner you know what’s wrong with your system, the easier it will be to get it fixed and get it up and running again.
Thermostats are the first thing to go when you experience problems with your heating system. When the temperature in your home drops below a certain point, the thermostat will kick on your heating system to try to bring it back up to the temperature you’ve set. If your thermostat is not working properly, it won’t be able to do this. You can check the condition of your thermostat by removing the cover and looking at the wires and connections. You should be able to see all of the wires without any covers on them. If you can’t see any wires, then you need to replace your thermostat. If you can see the wires, but they are all connected together, then they are all connected to the same wires and are not working properly. In this case, you should replace the thermostat.
If your heating system isn’t working, the first thing you should check is for carbon monoxide leaks. Carbon monoxide is a poisonous gas that is produced when there isn’t enough oxygen in your home. If your heating system isn’t working properly and isn’t heating your home, it could be leaking carbon monoxide into the air. This can be dangerous for you and your family, so it’s important to check for leaks as soon as you notice that your heating system isn’t working. You can smell carbon monoxide before you see it, so you should open your windows to let fresh air in and look for a black smoke coming from your home. In some cases, carbon monoxide can cause you to lose consciousness or even die. If you smell a foul smell or see black smoke coming from your home, you should get everyone out of the house immediately and call for help.
Pilot lights are the first thing to go when you experience problems with your heating system. A pilot light is a small flame that is used to start your main gas burner when you turn on the switch. If your main burner isn’t working, the pilot light will kick on and will keep your home warm until the main burner is able to start. If the pilot light isn’t working, then your home will be without heat until the main burner is able to be lit. If you smell a foul smell or see black smoke coming from your home, you should get everyone out of the house immediately and call for help. If you can see the pilot light, but it isn’t lit, then it isn’t working properly and needs to be lit again. If you can’t see the pilot light, then you should call for a technician to come out and light it again.
The gas line connects your gas meter to the main gas burner in your home. If the gas line is broken or is loose, it won’t be able to supply gas to your burner. This will cause your burner to shut off, and your home will lose heat. If the gas line is broken, you should call for a repair service to come out and repair it. If the gas line is loose, you can tighten it up by turning a nut on either side of the break. If you can see the gas line, but it isn’t connected, then it isn’t connected properly and needs to be connected again. If you can’t see the gas line, then you should call for a technician to come out and connect it again.
Burners are the main source of heat in your home. If your burner isn’t working, you won’t have much heat in your home. You can check the condition of your burner by removing the cover and looking at the burner itself. You should be able to see the burner in your home, but it could be covered in dust and dirt. If you can see the burner, but it isn’t glowing, then it isn’t working properly and needs to be lit again. If you can’t see the burner, then you should call for a technician to come out and light it again.

We recommend service be performed once a year at a minimum, especially before winter. Some people have their HVAC units serviced spring and fall to prepare for the coming heat of summer or in the fall to prepare for winter. Proper maintenance will prolong the life of your HVAC unit.
