What Happens if Your Furnace Stops Working?
Imagine you’ve come home after a long day to a broken furnace in your home. You’re now uncomfortable, irritated and confused about what to do in your own home – not to mention you’re freezing. What do you do next? You’re in luck: here are some quick tips to guide you on what you should check first!
Check Your Electric
First, check to see if anything other than your furnace is also not working. Your furnace runs on electricity. If a power outage occurred, it probably shut down more than a few of the electrical systems in your home – ovens, fridges and dishwashers to name a few.
Check Your Furnace
If everything else is working fine, check your furnace to see identifiable problems before a professional arrives at your home. If it’s SAFE, make sure that your filters and outdoor vents are cleared. REMEMBER: check to also ensure that your electrical panels, bolts, handles or switches are still intact, secure and dry. If there are abnormal signs around your system, alert your technician immediately.
Keep Warm
Make sure to stay warm if you have a broken system. You can wear layers, limit the amount you open the doors and safely use your space heaters or your fireplace.
