Remember, When You Need It...
We Provide Expert Service and Custom Installation
Check These First:
Is it getting power?
- Check your fuses or circuit breakers to make sure they don’t need to be reset.
- Remember, if your home’s power is out or disconnected, your system may not work.
Is the thermostat set correctly?
Check to make sure they you have your themostat set correctly. Make sure that it is not
being influence by afternoon sun or a draft from a window. Both of these scenarios can
trick your system to stay on too long or not long enough.

Additional Tips:
- Clean or change your filters every month - especially when
it’s cold and your system is running a lot. Normal
dust build-up can reduce airflow by 1 percent per week. A
dirty filter will make your system work harder to heat your home.
- Have your unit cleaned and serviced. You understand the
need for checking the oil and fluid levels in your car... the
same concept applies to your heating system. Your system runs
more than most automobiles - don’t ignore the obvious.
A clean system runs better & more efficiently - the
air can move freely through the coils.
- Work your drapes! If your drapes or curtains block sunlight
- open them to get free solar heat - then close them just before
sunset. Consider insulated curtains to increase your
comfort. Make sure all windows/doors are tightly sealed so
warmed air won’t be lost.
- Move furniture away from vents & registers. It’s
true - but many people don’t realize that a couch blocking
the vent is blocking the flow of heat into the room. This
wastes your money and makes the room cold. With a forced-air
system, blocking a supply or return vent can cause a house-wide
pressure imbalance that disrupts the heat flow in the whole system.
- As much as possible, avoid in and out door traffic... such as
children running in and out during play. When the doors
are opened repeatedly, you’re fighting a losing battle.
The systems are not designed to heat the outdoors.
- Lower your thermostat. Each degree you lower the thermostat
on your heating system decreases your fuel bill by 3 percent.
Going from 72 to 68 degrees won’t make that much of
a difference in terms of comfort - but you will notice 12 percent
less on your heating bill.
- Consider installing a programmable digital thermostat and set it
to match your lifestyle - time you wake up - come home in the
evening. Set it to come on 30 minutes before you get up or
come home so your home is warmed up for you - it doesn’t
need to be as warm all day or all night. If your system
is a heat pump, it’s generally not recommended for the heat
mode see US Dept of Energy link on thermostats and controls by
