As with many HVAC issues, the culprit is often a dirty air filter. These filters are vital to the health of your system, preventing dust and debris from entering ducts and damaging the internal machinery. Aim to swap out your air filters – or clean them, if your device has reusable ones – at least once every three months.
A thermostat can be used to set indoor temps, programmed to warm or cool your home at specific times during the day, and even trigger your heating system’s defrost and cleaning cycles. However, if your thermostat is set to the wrong mode, it will not heat your home.
Check to see if your thermostat is set to “auto” or “heat” and configured to warm your home to a desired temperature. If the device doesn’t turn on, you notice the heating is inconsistent, or cycles on and off (short-cycling) it’s time to call the pros.
Most furnaces burn natural gas to heat your home. Without access to fuel, this type of unit will not switch on. First, check to see if the control valve is set to the “on” position. If the device still doesn’t turn on, your supply may be disconnected. Contact your provider to ensure your service has not been discontinued or put on hold. Still no luck? It’s time to turn to the team at Gold Star Services.
