When your HVAC system stops working, it’s easy to jump to expensive conclusions. Luckily, most HVAC problems don’t require immediate furnace replacement and can be resolved with professional maintenance.

If you’re having an HVAC emergency, follow these steps and we’ll have your home back up and running shortly.

Check Your Air Filters

HVAC filters should be replaced regularly (about once every three months), but it’s easy for this to fall off your radar. If it’s been a while since your last HVAC maintenance appointment and you’re experiencing system failure, you should check the air filters first.

Clogged air filters cause your HVAC to have to work harder to produce the same energy output, which can lead to poor air quality or mechanical breakdown. Changing out old, dirty filters is the first step in addressing an HVAC emergency!

Inspect Circuit Breakers

Sometimes, the problem is as simple as fixing a circuit breaker that got tripped. If your heater’s breaker has been flipped, reset it and see if the issue is resolved. 

However, if this happens often, you may have a more serious electrical problem at hand. Call in a professional and make sure your home’s utility systems are all in good working order!

Make Sure Your Heater’s Thermostat is Working

A malfunctioned thermostat will cause a host of problems that may look like an HVAC emergency but can actually be resolved by just repairing this one component. 

If you suspect that your thermostat isn’t working as it should, have your HVAC technician take a look. They’ll adjust or replace it as necessary to get your heating and air conditioning back up and running.
