You rely on it to do its job, but what can you do if it starts having trouble? Every homeowner should know some basic HVAC troubleshooting tips. These four could save the day should your system start acting out of whack.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip #1: Check the Air Filter First<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Your HVAC system\u2019s first line of defense is the air filter. It keeps dust and dirt out of the equipment to prevent damage, but if it\u2019s dirty and clogged, it can lead to even more significant issues. So if you\u2019re having trouble with heating or cooling, check the air filter first.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip #2: Check the Thermostat<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If your house seems too hot or too cold, it might not be the furnace or the AC \u2013 it might be the thermostat. Someone may have reset it, which would explain the problem, or it could be a malfunction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip #3: Check the Air Vents<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Check the vents if your home isn\u2019t getting warm enough or cool enough. Blocked or closed vents will significantly impact the temperature of different rooms. Be sure they\u2019re clear and open for maximum heating and cooling efficiency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Tip #4: Check the Equipment<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some issues arise because the equipment doesn\u2019t have proper lubrication leading to parts wearing out. Checking the belt, motor, and blower can often identify issues including frequent on\/off cycling and lack of hot or cool air.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After trying these troubleshooting tips, if you still have issues with your heating and air conditioning, it\u2019s time to call for professional HVAC service.
