  1. 6 Easy Steps To Troubleshoot a Furnace

  2. Check The Thermostat • When your home's heating isn't working correctly, start by checking the thermostat. Ensure it's on and set to Heat, with fresh batteries if applicable. • If you have a smart thermostat, check for wireless or software issues and restart if necessary. Additionally, confirm the thermostat is not near heat sources or exterior doors, which can affect its readings. • If these steps don't resolve the issue, contact a technician to inspect and possibly relocate the thermostat for optimal performance.

  3. Check The Circuit Breaker • If the furnace switch is on but there's no heat, the circuit breaker supplying power might have tripped. Check the breaker box for the HVAC breaker; it should be labeled. • If not, look for a toggle switch opposite the others. If unsure, toggle each breaker until the furnace turns off, indicating the correct one. Reset by switching it off and on, and label it for future reference.

  4. Check Blockage in Vents • Check all vents and registers to ensure they're open and unblocked. Furniture or rugs covering them can restrict heat flow. • For furnaces with outdoor intakes, ensure the area is clear of dirt, leaves, and snow to allow proper air intake. Regularly clear debris from these areas during the heating season to maintain efficient furnace operation.

  5. Change the Furnace Filter • A clogged furnace filter is a common cause of malfunction. It restricts airflow, reducing heat output. To check, turn off the thermostat and furnace, then remove the filter located on the side. • Hold it up to a light; if light can't pass through, replace the filter. Replace filters at least twice a year or more frequently for optimal performance.

  6. Secure Front Panel Door • Ensure the furnace's front panel door is securely closed. If it's not completely shut, a safety switch may prevent the unit from operating. • Checking and closing the door properly can resolve this issue.

  7. Call a Furnace Expert • If your furnace troubles persist after attempting troubleshooting, it's best to consult a professional technician. • They possess the expertise to thoroughly inspect your furnace system, identifying any issues with components like the electric panel, burners, or gas valve. • Their assessment and repairs can restore your furnace to optimal functionality. • Infiniti Home Comfort can help you with all your furnace needs.
