Frequently Asked Questions
How do I troubleshoot my heating system?
Before calling for repairs, try these steps:
- Check that the thermostat is set to heat with the fan on auto.
- Replace or clean the air filter.
- Check for a tripped breaker and flip it if needed.
If these steps don’t resolve the issue, it’s time to call Comfort First.
What does it mean if my heating system is emitting strange smells?
Strange odors can indicate different issues. The smell of rotten eggs is a sign of a gas leak, and you need to evacuate and get immediate help. Burning dust odors are normal when the heater just turns on. Electrical burning smells mean you could have a serious wiring issue. A moldy smell is a sign of moisture buildup or a clogged drain line.
Why is my pilot light yellow?
A yellow pilot light often indicates a ventilation problem or carbon monoxide buildup in a gas heating system. It’s critical to have it checked by a professional to ensure your family’s safety.
