If your equipment is not operating or not performing
properly, you may save the expense of a service call by checking a few
things yourself before calling for service.
Troubleshooting for
Furnace
1. Gas Valve is in
the "on" position.
2. Check
the air cleaner filter(s) for any accumulation of dirt.
3. Check for sufficient
airflow from registers.
4. Be sure thermostat temperature is set higher than room
temperature.
5. Be sure circuit breaker is on and main power switch to furnace is
on.
6. During winter months, be sure your PVC pipe is not covered with
snow.
Troubleshooting for Air Conditioner
1. Remove vinyl winter cover if you are using one.
2. Check the disconnect switch located outside near your air
conditioning unit (gray box), turn handle to the "on" position.
3. Switch circuit breaker in basement for air conditioner to ON.
4. Turn thermostat to COOL.
5. Furnace blower will come on inside. Check if fan is running
on outside condensing unit.
6. If outside unit does not run, check if fuses are blown in fuse
box located on outside of house, near air conditioning unit. BUT
BEFORE checking the fuses, be sure to turn all power off to the air
conditioning unit. Take fuses to a hardware store to have them
checked if blown.
7. Be sure thermostat is set below room temperature.
