Troubleshooting Guide: What to Check Before You Call

Heating systems can be complex, and while HVAC Philly's skilled technicians are ready to handle any issue, a few simple checks can save you time and a service call:

01

Heater Not Turning On

Check your circuit breakers first. If breakers are on, make sure the emergency switch on the heater — usually a red switch at the top of the basement stairs — is flipped to the on position.

02

Check Your Thermostat

Verify the thermostat is set to Heat and the temperature is above the current room reading. Replace batteries if the display is dim or blank so the system receives the call for heat.

03

Inspect the Air Filter

A dirty air filter is your furnace's worst enemy — it restricts airflow, drops efficiency and can trip the safety limit switch. Swap the filter and give the system a few minutes to reset.

04

Blower Runs but No Heat

The burners may be locked out on a safety. Check that the furnace door is fully seated (the door switch must be closed) and that the gas valve to the unit is open before calling for service.

Choosing the Right Heating System for Your Home

You have several choices in energy sources to heat your home and water. Prices vary widely by furnace type and installation — a little research goes a long way toward finding what's best for you.

Gas Furnaces

Gas is currently the most common heating fuel in Philadelphia. Most new central heating systems use gas — generally the recommended choice for row homes and single-family houses.

Oil Furnaces

Oil furnaces still hold a niche in older Northeast homes. They deliver strong heat, but operating costs are usually much higher than a comparable gas furnace.

Electric Heat Pumps

Heat pumps pull heat from outdoor air (and reverse in summer to cool). Inexpensive to install versus separate systems, and today's cold-climate models perform well through Philly winters.
