[h3] Troubleshoot checklist for before calling

Troubleshooting can be specific to the type of heating system you have, such as whether it is a furnace, boiler, etc. and what type of fuel source it uses – electricity, gas, or heating oil. Below are some general tips to try before bringing in the professionals.

• We know you’ve heard this tip before, but sometimes the simplest fix works! Try turning your heater off and back on again.
• Reset your thermostat. Make sure it’s set to the correct temperature. Try turning it up a notch.
• Check for blown fuses or tripped circuit breakers.
• Check the air filter to see if it is obstructed or needs to be changed.
• Make sure there is nothing blocking, putting pressure on, or obstructing your heating system.
• Is your furnace pilot light lit? If not, check to make sure your gas is turned on, but don’t try to light it yourself. You’ll need to call a pro for that.
