No one likes coming home to a cold home after a
long day at work to discover their furnace has
stopped working. Here at Distinct Heating
Cooling, we do offer emergency service to help
get your furnace working. Prior to calling us,
there are several things you can check first to
try and identify the cause.

Make Sure the Furnace Is On Go to your
thermostat and see that it is on. If you have a
newer thermostat, try replacing the batteries, as
dead batteries could cause the thermostat to not
work correctly. If you are not sure how to access
the batteries, do not hesitate to call us for
help.

4
Check the Air Filters If the air filters are
dirty and clogged, they can cause the furnace to
not get sufficient air, cause it to overheat, and
shut off.

5
Verify the Gas Pilot Is Lit If you have an
older furnace model, you may have a pilot light
that may need to be re-lit. Follow the
manufactures guidelines for relighting
instructions.

Check Breaker Switches Sometimes the breaker
switch to your furnace can blow and needs to be
reset. Before resetting the breaker, go to the
thermostat and change the setting to the off
position. After resetting the breaker, turn the
furnace back on. If the breaker blows again, shut
the furnace back off and call us for further help.

Check for Blocked Vents If any vents are
blocked, including the return air vent(s), it can
prevent the furnace from getting sufficient air
and cause problems similar to that when air
filters are dirty and clogged.

After checking the above items, if your furnace
will not turn back on, call our Calgary furnace
repair company immediately to schedule emergency
repair service. While you wait for our technician
to arrive, it is beneficial to limit opening
doors and allowing more cold air into the home.

If it is below freezing outside, you should turn
on the water faucets in different areas of the
home to keep water flowing and help prevent
frozen pipes. In addition, it is best to close
bedroom and bathroom doors to help reduce further
heat loss. If your home has a fireplace, you can
use this to generate heat in the room it is
located, until we arrive and fix your furnace.
