With the year’s coldest months underway, your furnace will be working overtime to keep the house cool. And if it breaks down, fixing it will quickly become your top priority. Here are some do’s and don’ts about what to do if something goes wrong with your heating system:
Do What You Can First
Some heating problems stem from basic sources. Before calling professional help, check to ensure no circuit breakers have tripped. Verify that the wires around the furnace are in good shape. And check the thermostat batteries! Some thermostats, particularly older ones, operate on batteries without wired backup, and your problem could be as simple as swapping out a couple of AA batteries.
