Troubleshooting Tips
- Check to make sure that your thermostat is set in the “heat” position.
- Make sure that the temperature setting on the thermostat is set above (or higher than) the indoor temperature showing on the thermostat.
- Ensure that there is power to the furnace. Try turning the fan to “ON” using the fan switch on the thermostat to test for power to furnace.
- Check the circuit breakers at the electrical panel.
- Check the Safety Shut Off Switch (it looks like a light switch) located at or near the furnace to be sure it is in the “ON” position.
- Has the furnace filter been replaced recently?
- Check all return air grilles and supply air registers to make sure they are not blocked by furniture and to make sure they are open and blowing air.
- Check to make sure that your thermostat is set in the “cool” position.
- Make sure that the temperature setting on the thermostat is set below (or lower than) the indoor temperature showing on the thermostat.
- Check the circuit breakers at the electrical panel. Make sure they are all in the “ON” position.
