Nothing is worse than surprise heat loss in the middle of winter. If you find that the heat is suddenly not working in your Massachusetts home or business, don’t go into panic mode just yet. There are a few simple steps you can take before needing to call the HVAC experts at Albert Culver in the South Shore. Keep reading to learn what to do if you suddenly experience a heating system failure in Massachusetts.
What to Do If Your Heat Is Not Working
If you heat your home with oil and schedule deliveries on an as-needed basis, check the gauge on your fuel storage tank to make sure it’s not empty. Factors such as having more people in your household than usual, a long cold spell, or an increase in the use of certain appliances can cause you to go through your fuel supply quicker than usual. If your fuel tank is empty, call us at Albert Culver immediately for a refill, as this is a safety concern for your home and family.
To avoid running out of fuel again consider enrolling in automatic delivery with this service; our advanced system keeps track of your oil usage for you. Fuel will be delivered to your home when you need it at no additional cost.
If your oil tank is not empty, try checking that your:
- Thermostat is set to HEAT
- Heating system’s emergency switches are turned on
- Heating system RESET button isn’t tripped; hit once if needed
If nothing is doing the trick, contact us, and our experts will assess your heating system.
