Some heating system repairs are avoidable when you double-check certain areas before calling for help. To help you spot problem areas, check these five things first. Call Smylie One Heating & Cooling for immediate or scheduled service if you find any damage.

Thermostat – Unless this device is broken, thermostat problems vary. For instance, the device got mounted in the wrong location; it’s not level, needs cleaning, has dead batteries, is defective, or old.

Breaker – When your circuit breaker gets too hot, there are three common reasons why it trips, shutting the power off. The breaker is loose, the current has reached its limit, or the old part needs replacing.

Filter – Dirty and clogged air filters force a furnace to work harder, reducing the heat’s airflow. If not replaced every 30-90 days, expect the unit’s limit switch to get damaged, requiring costly repairs.

Furnace Door – Inspect the furnace’s door if the heating system does not operate properly. If it is not securely fastened or snapped in place, the door will pop out, and the furnace will not work correctly.

Exhaust Vents – In the winter, snow and ice can block the exhaust vents, and during the warmer months, it’s leaves, nests, and debris. At least once a month, clean and clear the furnace exhaust vents.
