You can bet that eventually the winds of fate will throw you a curve ball on the coldest day of winter. You’ll wake up, notice it’s a lot colder than usual, and darn, your furnace won’t turn on. This is extremely frustrating, and of course, you’ll want to get it fixed as soon as possible. You don’t want to be cold but you also don’t want your family members throwing things at you.

Before calling in your go-to professional HVAC repair service, however, you should try some troubleshooting. Even if you can’t get the heat pump or furnace to turn on, you might at least be able to narrow down what the problem is, saving the HVAC technician some time and trouble.

Try These Ideas Before Calling in an HVAC Pro

• Check to make sure the furnace blower is getting power. Is there an on-off switch? Has the circuit breaker for the furnace or heat pump tripped? Look at the thermostat and make sure it’s set to “heat” and that the temperature setting is higher than the room temperature. If the thermostat is battery operated, does it have a fresh battery?

• If the furnace breakdown was preceded by a banging or rattling in the compartment for the blower motor, this might signal loose or broken machinery.

• Sometimes burners can get clogged with soot or ashes. When this happens, it’s not unusual to hear small explosions in the furnace before the gas ignites. If a burner gets totally clogged, there’s a good chance your furnace won’t turn on.

With issues concerning furnace burners or gas lines, it’s always better to call in a professional, such as the experienced, certified technicians who works for Jansen Heating & Air Conditioning.

Once you agree to the quoted price (which comes with Jansen’s Upfront Pricing Guarantee), the work should be completed promptly and effectively, and your family will be happy once again.
