First Line of Defense – Assessment

A broken heater can leave homeowners feeling hopeless. Before you go into a panic, however, start with assessing the situation. The things that usually indicate your heater is broken or not working at all are no heat at all or uneven heat.

These cases need some causes to find, the ones that can be the solution for the problem.

1. No Heat

When the chill sets in and your furnace seems to have punched out, you’ve got to move fast. You might use a systematic method of determining what the problem is:

• Thermostat: Ensure your thermostat is set to “heat” and that the temperature setting is higher than the current temperature in the room. Sometimes a small adjustment can reset your heating system.
• Power Supply: Check the power supply. Sometimes a furnace being dead is simply a tripped circuit breaker or a blown fuse. Reset the breaker or replace the fuse, and see if that resolves the problem.
• Check the pilot light: With an older furnace that has a pilot light, make sure it is lit. If it’s out, follow the manufacturer’s directions for safely relighting it.
• Hot and cold spots: If your home is warm in some areas and cold in others, follow these troubleshooting steps:
• Inspect the airflow: Ensure all vents and registers are open and clear. On the other hand, blocked vents can disrupt airflow and create hot and cold spots across your home.
• Assess the air filter: You’d be amazed at the difference that a dirty or clogged air filter can make. If it’s dirty, swap it out to promote adequate airflow.
• Ductwork Inspection: Blocked ductwork or vents can restrict warm air circulation.

That said, this steps may not touch on every underlying issue you have, so keep in mind-they can’t solve every situation.

Now, when you have problems with a heating system, safety and efficiency is key, so if the troubleshooting hasn’t been successful and a heating system is down, or if you suspect something more complex, you need to call Day & Night Plumbing immediately.

Bonus Tip

The way to avoid winter disasters is through preparation. Don’t wait until the coldest (or hottest) days to check in on your heating system. Here’s how to prepare your home for winter to keep it warm all season long.

• Schedule Maintenance: Pre-winter inspection and tune-up from the HVAC pros at Patriot Air ensure that your heating system will run efficiently all winter long.
• Change Air Filters: Clogged filters can block airflow and cause spots that heat unevenly. Follow manufacturer’s instructions, and replace filters every 90 days or at least as directed.
• Test Thermostat: Verify that your thermostat is functioning properly. If it’s programmable, set a winter schedule for when you want the place heated up.
• Clear Outside Units: If you have that outside unit (ie a heat pump), clear debris, leaves and other obstructions to ensure proper airflow.
• Seal Leaks and Insulate​: Feel for drafts around windows and doors. Seal any cracks, and use weather stripping or caulking. Proper insulation makes it easier to keep heat inside your home.
