    • the temperature is properly pre-set by the thermostat.
    • heat-generating appliances, such as electric heater or gas appliances, are turned on in the room.
    • bright sunshine gets into the room.

HEATING TIPS 

  1. Change furnace filter regularly.
  2. It is essential to change or clean your furnace’s filter on a regular basis. If you aren’t certain or are not comfortable doing this, contact us to replace the filters. This is a standard function of the Preventative Maintenance Plan. 
  3. If your gas furnace is not heating your home the first thing to check is your thermostat. Is the temperature setting too low? If it is below the temperature of your home, your system will not turn on. Is your programmable thermostat starting at the correct time? Also check that your furnace’s pilot light is still ignited.
