Thermostat malfunctions cause most heating system failures. Other causes can include a tripped circuit breaker or a blown fuse. In the case of combustion furnaces, a pilot light may simply have gone out. If the heat still does not come on when you adjust the thermostat above room temperature you can try the following:

• Check to ensure your thermostat is functioning properly.

• Check to make sure the furnace power switch is in the “On” position. The switch is usually located either next to, or inside of the furnace cabinet. If it is “Off” turn it on and wait a few minutes for the furnace to engage.

• If you have a gas furnace, the pilot light may have gone out or the gas valve supplying the furnace may be shut off.

• Check to see if a circuit has tripped. If so, you can reset it by turning it off and then on again.

If you have tried the methods above and the furnace is still not heating, consider calling in one of our pros! You can easily reach us 24/7 by calling (215)571-9471 for assistance.

• Check your vents and vacuum out any debris

• Check to see if anything is blocking your vents and impeding the flow of warm air

• Ensure that your filter is clean and free from buildup

• Check to make sure the registers are open

• Make sure your thermostat is set to “heat” and the fan set to “auto” or “on” (You can then try raising the temp. 5 degrees and waiting a few minutes)

• Check the circuit breaker or power supply

• Check for and reduce any household drafts

Check your filter! Believe it or not, a dirty clogged filter can cause your unit to struggle. This simple and easily remedied issue is one reason that can result in frequent cycling.

Change your thermostat batteries. If it’s been quite some time since you last checked your thermostat batteries it may be time for a change. As a general

rule, you should change the batteries in your thermostat at least once per year.

Check the thermostat to see if the Fan switch has been left in the “on” position. Air Dynamics recommends setting the fan position to “Auto.” In the “On,” “Low,” “Medium” or “High” modes, the fan will run continuously draining unnecessary energy. If it is already set to “Auto” and you are still experiencing this issue, contact us at (215) 571-9471 to have your unit serviced.

Rattling Noises

• If your furnace is making rattling noises when running, check the cabinet. Ensure the cover panels are screwed on tight. Tighten any loose panels as needed.

Grinding Sounds

• If the blower is making a grinding noise, shut off the unit to avoid causing damage, and call a professional at Air Dynamics right away!

Change the air filters: Dirty air filters often lead to a multitude of furnace problems. It is wise to clean or replace the filter(s) on your unit at least once every 3 months. More often if you have pets in your home.

Whether in a commercial or residential setting, the same basic problems plague furnaces. Fortunately, the professionals at Air Dynamics are ready to address them!
