There is no favorable moment for your HVAC system to break down. But the holidays are a difficult period to go without your HVAC system on the go. Most homeowners spend the holidays at home with their family and a failure could be devastating, especially when you are holding an event.
But worry no more! Our clients have experienced holiday HVAC failure and so will you! There are some tips for what you should do if your HVAC system problems over the holidays.
Troubleshooting Your HVAC System
It may be easy to be alarmed when you see the initial sign of breakdown with your HVAC system – especially if you’re planning on entertaining guests. But there’s no need to panic. Before you contact an expert to repair the issue, you can perform some simple troubleshooting steps yourself to try to identify the cause of the issue. It may be a simple repair that you can carry out on your own!
- Check if the HVAC system is switched on and the circuit breaker isn’t tripped.
- Verify if the thermostat is switched on and has new batteries.
- Set the thermostat to ‘heat’ and switch the temperature to 3 or 5 degrees. Wait for 30 seconds to check if the heat is released from the register. Perform the same step for the air conditioner with the ‘cool’ mode.
- See to it that the fan on the thermostat has power and the air registers are not closed.
These are only some simple steps that you can perform yourself to confirm if the HVAC repair problem is just simple. When your HVAC system still doesn’t work, it’s the best time to see professional assistance. We highly discourage trying to diagnose or repair your HVAC equipment beyond these troubleshooting procedures unless you have the formal training or experience of an HVAC technician.
