My furnace is not working at all.
- Make sure that your thermostat is in the “heat” position
- Make sure that the temperature that the thermostat is set at is
above the indoor air temperature.
- Is there power to the furnace? Check your fuse box or circuit
breaker box to see if you have a blown fuse or tripped breaker. If
everything checks out at your fuse box or circuit breaker box, make
sure the switch at the furnace is to the on position. If the
switch is on and the furnace still does not come on, check to make
sure the furnace blower door is properly closed. There is a
switch on the furnace door that activates the furnace, and if it
is not properly set, the furnace will not activate.

My furnace is not heating properly.
There are so many reasons for a furnace not to operate properly. Here
are a few things to check before calling for a service call.
- There is not enough heat coming out of the register.
- Check your air filter. After cleaning or replacing it and
your still have a problem, you may have a blower motor going bad
or something is wrong in your ductwork.
- My filter is clean, but there is still not enough air flow coming
through the registers.
- There are three other possibilities that could be wrong still
would be a dirty blower section, a plugged secondary heat exchanger,
or a plugged evaporator coil. To properly clean these 3 issues,
they have to be removed, disassembled, cleaned, and put back together. These
issues require a qualified technician to service the equipment.
- My furnace kicks on and off very often.
- This is more than likely caused by one of the furnace’s
limit being tripped. This can be several different problems. It
can be from a dirty filter, an oversized furnace, iced over PVC
venting, or even a plugged drain line. Our suggestion is
to call for a service call.
- My furnace makes a loud banging noise.
- This is most likely caused by a delayed ignition. This
is considered a dangerous situation; we suggest you call for a
service call in this situation.
- My furnace makes a tin can sound banging noise.
- This is not related to the above problem. The main cause
for this is undersized and/or faulty ductwork. We suggest
that you have one of our qualified sheet metal workers reinstall
some of the ductwork in your home to the correct size for proper
operation.
My boiler is not heating properly.
- My boiler is not providing enough heat.
- Check to see if the boiler pressure is between 8 and 25 psi on
the pressure dial on the boiler.
- Check to make sure that the pump is turning.
- Check to make sure that the pump coupler is not bad if your boiler
has this style pump.
- Listen to your radiators. If there is air in the system,
these may need to be bled.
I turned my thermostat to cool, turned the temperature
down, and my air conditioner isn’t turning on.
- Some air conditioning units have a time delay. Some delays
can last up to 10 minutes with a digital thermostat. If the
air conditioning unit doesn’t start up after 10 minutes, check
your fuse box for a blown fuse or your breaker box for a tripped
breaker. If that checks out fine, go outside by your unit and
check that the disconnect (similar to a breaker) is on.
My air conditioner is running, but I don’t feel
any cold air.
- Your refrigerant in your air conditioning system may be low. This
is caused by a possible leak in your system or the unit was improperly
charged. Please contact our service department for assistance.
- Your air filter on your furnace may be dirty. Check your
filter and change or clean the filter if it is dirty.
My outdoor air conditioner unit is making noises.
- All units are going to make noises. If it is a loud scraping noise
something is wrong. It is possible that your condenser fan motor
has become dislodged and is hitting the top of the unit. If
that is the case, shut off the unit and contact our service department
immediately for assistance.
