FURNACE REPAIR HELP – KNOW WHAT TO
DO WHEN YOU HAVE A DEAD FURNACE
• BE SURE TO CHECK THE THERMOSTAT CAREFULLY, ESPECIALLY IF IT IS A PROGRAMMABLE ONE.
YOU HAVE TO ENSURE THAT THE SWITCH IS NOT ON "COOL" AND IS ON "HEAT" INSTEAD.
• NOW, CHECK THE TEMPERATURE SETTING. IT IS IMPORTANT TO ENSURE THE TEMPERATURE
SETTING OF THE THERMOSTAT IS HIGHER THAN THE ROOM TEMPERATURE. USUALLY, IT IS ENOUGH
TO SET THE THERMOSTAT TEMPERATURE FIVE DEGREES HIGHER THAN YOUR ROOM
TEMPERATURE. MAKING THIS CHANGE USUALLY MAKES THE FURNACE WORK AGAIN.
• IF YOU DO NOT GET A FUNCTIONAL FURNACE YET, YOU MAY HAVE TO CHECK THE PROGRAM AND
ENSURE THAT IT DISPLAYS THE RIGHT DAY AND TIME.
