In Tampa, we don\u2019t get a lot of use out of our heaters. For most of the year, the \u201cheat\u201d setting on the thermostat remains untouched, and our heating systems get a long rest. So when we do find ourselves in need of heating, it\u2019s a big surprise if the unit won\u2019t seem to kick on.<\/p>\n
What\u2019s wrong with your heating system? It could be a case of human error. Or, depending on the type of heater you have, you might have components that need replacement. Of course, an older heater might be in need of replacement\u2014but a qualified company will always check for a possibility of repairs first and foremost. For more information about what may be going on, read further and then call our friendly team.<\/p>\n
We see it all too often: a homeowner calls in a technician only to discover they\u2019ve been setting the thermostat wrong. Have you double\u00a0and triple-checked the thermostat settings? Make sure the switch is set to \u201cauto,\u201d not \u201coff\u201d or \u201cfan\u201d mode. Make sure you\u2019ve not accidentally entered into vacation or \u201caway\u201d settings\u2014it\u2019s an easy mistake to make.<\/p>\n
Another potential user error: not waiting a few minutes before calling in technicians. The fan limit switch in a furnace makes it so the fan does not move air through the vents until it\u2019s started to heat up. This can take a couple of minutes, so don\u2019t turn off the thermostat just yet.<\/p>\n
The most common heating system in the country is the gas furnace, though electric furnaces are quite common in our part of the country. In any case, one of these issues could be responsible for a heater that won\u2019t start:<\/p>\n
A heat pump is a heating-and-cooling system all in one. Some people are surprised to learn they have a heat pump rather than a furnace! If your heat pump is not starting properly, these common culprits may be responsible:<\/p>\n
