Before you call for furnace repair in Cheshire
If your furnace suddenly stops heating, a few quick checks can help you describe the issue clearly when you call (and in some cases, restore heat right away). If you ever smell gas, see soot around the unit, or your carbon monoxide alarm sounds, leave the home and contact emergency services first.
- Thermostat: confirm it’s set to “heat,” the temperature is above room temp, and batteries are fresh (if applicable).
- Airflow: replace a clogged filter and make sure supply vents and return grilles aren’t blocked.
- Power: check the furnace switch and your electrical panel for a tripped breaker.
- Error codes: if your system has a display light or screen, note any flashing pattern or code before resetting anything.
When you’re ready, our team can dispatch help any time—day or night—so you’re not stuck waiting in the cold.
What to expect during your furnace service visit
Once we arrive, we’ll confirm the symptoms you’re noticing (no heat, short cycling, odd smells, or loud startup attempts), then run a step-by-step diagnosis to pinpoint the cause. Many issues can be resolved quickly, and we’ll always explain what we found and walk you through the repair options so you can choose the right next step.
