Nothing is more terrifying to a homeowner than discovering that their heater has died unexpectedly in the middle of the winter or spring.
It's frightening not only because you're expecting a huge repair or replacement price in the future, but it can also be deadly if the outside temperature is too low.
This is a fate that can and should be avoided in the end. While a catastrophic heater failure requires the help of a Tempe AC repair professional, many of the problems we find with heaters are fixable if a homeowner has some understanding of how their system operates and carries out AC maintenance.
While calling for heating repairs in Tempe is the most significant move you can do, while you're waiting for a skilled expert to arrive, you might try making some changes to keep your heater alive long enough to heat your home!
What To Do Before Tempe AC Repair Arrive?
We're not here to discuss what a skilled technician can and can't do. A member of our staff will not leave you without heat on a chilly day, so you'll be given a few options for keeping your home warm.
We're here to talk about those first few hours of terror before seeking expert treatment. When your heater breaks down, and the temperature drops, there are several things you may do to prevent more harm.
Don't be alarmed
Foremost, do not be alarmed. Our team is available 24 hours a day, 365 days a year, so you'll only have to wait a short time until we arrive to assist you.
If you're worried about your heater failing, we'll be there in no time to assist you. This is something that not every HVAC contractor can guarantee, so call us if you need help right away.
Check Thermostat
Often, what appears to be a broken heater is a broken thermostat. Because the thermostat is the brain of your heating system, if it shorts out or shuts down, your heater will malfunction as well.
Check to determine if your thermostat is set to the correct temperature or working at all. If it's not, you may rest easy knowing that your repair expenses will be cheaper if it's only a thermostat issue.
Check for Power
It could be a problem with your electrical system, regardless of what you think the issue is. After all, your heating system is connected to your thermostat by a slew of switches and wires.
Check to ensure your heating system's power switch is set to "on" or "auto." If it's been turned off turning it back on may temporarily solve the problem. If it's turned on but still doesn't work, you'll need to get an expert to fix it.
