Furnace Troubleshooting Tips
When your furnace doesn’t run like it should, there are many ways to troubleshoot the issue. If your furnace seems to be struggling, be sure to:
- Check air vents to ensure they’re open and unobstructed.
- Raise the thermostat setting and ensure it’s set to heat with the fan on auto.
- Check for a yellow or orange pilot light on a gas furnace (it should burn blue).
- Check for a tripped breaker on an electric furnace.
If these troubleshooting tips don’t resolve your system’s issue, contact our team for emergency furnace repairs.
