Emergency HVAC Tips What to Do When Your Heating System Falters in Winter

When the biting cold of Midwest winters sets in, a malfunctioning heating system can quickly become a crisis. Here are some emergency HVAC tips to help you navigate through the chilly situation: 

Check the Thermostat: While a seemingly obvious thing, always make sure that your thermostat is set to the desired temperature. Sometimes, small and simple adjustments can make a significant difference. 

Inspect the Filters: Dirty or clogged filters can impede airflow, causing your heating system to struggle. Regularly replace or clean filters to maintain optimal performance.  

Reset the System: Try resetting your HVAC system by turning it off and then back on after a few minutes. This simple step may resolve minor glitches.  

Look for Visible Issues: Examine your heating system for any visible signs of damage, like loose wires or leaking water. If you find anything concerning, it’s advisable to contact a professional technician. 

Emergency Maintenance Contacts: Keep a list of emergency HVAC service providers handy. Prompt professional assistance can prevent further damage and ensure your home stays warm.
