DIY Furnace Troubleshooting
There are certain safe troubleshooting steps that Glendale homeowners can try before calling for HVAC service. For instance, if you’re not getting any heat, check your thermostat setting first. Is it turned on? Is it on the heat setting? If you say no to either question, make the necessary adjustments. That way, you might be able to save yourself a service call.
We don’t recommend taking on any actual repairs yourself. Doing so is a good way to void your warranty, and you may even get hurt. We understand that handymen and women often believe they can repair anything. However, when it comes to your furnace, you’ll be much better off leaving it to the professionals. You might save yourself time and trouble, though, by checking a few simple things before calling us.
DIY troubleshooting steps include:
- Replacing dirty air filters
- Ensuring the circuit breaker hasn’t tripped
- Confirming that vents are open and unblocked
- Checking that the thermostat is set to heat with the temperature setting higher than the indoor temperature
