The summer season is here, and air conditioners are no doubt being turned up. A person might not be thinking about the heating right now, after all, it is smoking hot on most days. This may be the opportune time, though, to get the heating looked at. A contractor that does Heating Repair in the Appleton and Neenah, Wisconsin areas has repaired many furnaces and offers you tips on identifying the most widely seen heating problems.
- If the heat is turned on, but the heating system is not responding, the first thing to check is the electrical connection. If there is no electrical power, an electrician will have to be called. Of course, it is good to check simple things like the thermostat to ensure it is on a setting that will activate the heater.
- If the heating system is gas, before the season of operation, the pilot light should be checked. This is an extremely important component to check. The pilot light should always remain lit during the heating system. The flame should be a strong, blue color, not yellow and weak. If the flame is not right, dangerous levels of carbon monoxide could fill the home.
- If the temperature in the home is vacillating between extreme temperatures, the problem might lie in a malfunctioning thermostat. A professional should be called out to properly calibrate the thermostat or suggest for you to invest in a programmable thermostat.
- The ductwork is another element that must be checked to ensure there is no blockage, such as from rodents, insects or debris. A professional will have to come out and service the ductwork and also check it for leaks.
