DO YOU HAVE NO
HEAT?
If your heat is not working, run through
this check list to troubleshoot your problem.
1. Is the thermostat set at least 5 degrees higher than the current
room temperature? If not, set it up higher and see if the heat comes
on. Give it a minute.
2. If it is set up, then check to see if the system's power switch
and/or emergency on/off switch is turned on. If it is off, then
turn it on and see if the heat comes on.
3. If it is turned on, then next check the circuit breaker. It is
common for the circuit breaker switch to trip off. If it was off,
turn it on and see if the heat comes on. It is located in a grey
metal box with other switches. It should be labeled Furnace or Boiler.
4. If it was on, do you know if you have plenty of oil? Has it been
a long time since you had a delivery? If you are able to check your
tank, it should be more than 1/8th full. If you know or suspect
you are out of oil, then call 757 787-3580 for a delivery. If it
is after hours your call will be directed to our answering service
and they will page us and we will call you.
5. If you have plenty of oil, then try pushing the reset button.
It is a little red button located on the control of the furnace.
If your system does not start up and run after you push it once,
DO NOT PUSH IT AGAIN. Pushing it again will cause too much oil to
flood into the combustion chamber and could result in damage.
If your system still has not started up and run after all these
steps, then call us for service at 757 787-3580.
This is our office, and we are open Monday through Friday from 8AM
to 5PM, except holidays. Nights or weekends, call this same number,
and you will reach our answering service who will in turn page us,
and we will then call you to arrange for service.
