There are several indicators that your heater isn’t working correctly. Of course, the safest method to set your furnace is to hire a professional furnace repair service. Some of them, though, maybe rectified with a bit of elbow grease. So, keep your home warm and comfy with these troubleshooting suggestions.  

If none of the following suggestions help, you should seek advice from a professional as soon as possible (or type furnace repair Calgary on google). If you’re seeking a professional in Calgary, call us (Rapid Furnace Repair) at 403-998-3405.  

Six things to check & identify the reason your furnace stops working.  

1. Check the temperature setting on the thermostat   

Ensure it’s not the thermostat before you think your furnace isn’t operating. You will not be getting the indication that it’s time to switch on if your thermostat has a low battery or is wrongly set. Replace the batteries to check whether the problem corrects. 

2. Switches, breaker panels, and the pilot light should make all check.  

If it isn’t the thermostat, examine the circuit breaker to see if a circuit has a trigger. Switch it back on if that’s the case. By switching on the furnace, you can test if it works. If the breaker breaks again, call for help. Otherwise, you could find yourself in a situation where the system is overwhelmed. If it doesn’t work, make sure the furnace switch turns to the “on” position. Also, ensure the pilot light on your furnace is turned on.  

3. Examine the Gas Line  

Next, check the gas line in your home. Pull the lever to “open” the gas line if it is not already. If it configures to open, it is not an issue.  

4. Examine the Vents  

Examine the air intake and exhaust vents to check if something is blocking them. For example, even though the furnace is in good working order, the house may not get heat. Likewise, always be sure a piece of furniture isn’t blocking a vent.  

5. Test the Filters in the furnace  

The furnace filters must be kept clean and free of debris at all times. If you don’t, they’ll rapidly clog, causing your furnace to break down. In addition, the heat exchanger can quickly overheat and force the furnace to shut down if warm air cannot flow through blockages. Replace or clean the furnace filters and check them at least once a month. Make sure the furnace and thermostat turn off before dealing with the filters.  

6. Verify that the furnace’s electricity turns on.  

Sometimes gas systems require electricity to operate. As a result, a power cutoff switch locates next to the furnace. First, make sure the fuse/circuit breaker for the stove is not broke in the electrical panel. Next, make sure the power switch next to the furnace turns on.
