π‘ Before You Call: 5 Simple Heating Checks for Fairfax Homeowners
We aim to be a resource, not just a service call. Before scheduling a visit for furnace repair in Fairfax County, VA, check these common, homeowner-fixable issues. This can save you money and time!
- Check the Thermostat: Is it set to HEAT and is the temperature setting higher than the current room temperature? Ensure the batteries aren't dead.
- Check the Air Filter: A clogged, dirty air filter is the number one cause of furnace failure and overheating. Replace it immediately if it looks gray or dark.
- Check the Breaker Box: Heating systems are on dedicated breakers. Check the main electrical panel to see if the breaker for the furnace or heat pump is tripped.
- Check the Pilot Light/Power Switch: For gas furnaces, ensure the pilot light is lit. Ensure the emergency Red Switch (often near the furnace) hasn't been accidentally flipped off.
- Check Vents and Doors: Ensure all supply and return air vents are open and unobstructed by furniture or rugs throughout your Fairfax County home.
