Safe checks before scheduling service

  1. Raise the thermostat setpoint and confirm HEAT mode.
  2. Check the furnace breaker once.
  3. Confirm the nearby furnace service switch is on if it is plainly labeled and accessible.
  4. Check the filter and accessible vents.
  5. Do not bypass switches or safety devices to force operation.

If you encounter exposed wiring, smoke, a gas odor, a carbon-monoxide alarm, or another immediate safety concern, stop troubleshooting and follow the appropriate emergency guidance.

WHEN TO CALL

Move from troubleshooting to diagnosis

If the simple checks above do not resolve the problem, or the same symptom returns, professional diagnosis is usually more useful than continuing to reset or restart the equipment. Describe the symptom and what you have already checked.

WHAT NOT TO DO

Avoid risky shortcuts

Do not bypass switches, defeat safeties, open sealed refrigerant systems, adjust gas valves, or repeatedly reset a breaker that trips. Those steps can create additional risk or obscure the original problem.
