If your Chalfont\u00a0heating<\/a> or air conditioning system breaks down, there are a few simple steps you should take before calling a professional. Here is a rundown of exactly what you should do and how these steps will ensure the system is fixed quickly and properly to help keep your family comfortable at all times.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Check the Power \u2013 First, check the electrical power to your system. Look for a blown fuse or flipped circuit if the system won\u2019t turn on at all. If this is the problem, watch for a recurrence. If it happens more than once, you should call a professional to fix the problem in the future.<\/li>\n
  2. Check the Thermostat \u2013 Check all of your thermostats to ensure they are not only reading the proper temperature, but that they are set to the right temperature. Often, what seems like a big issue can simply be due to a thermostat being set wrong.<\/li>\n
  3. Inspect the Outdoor Unit \u2013 Check outside for debris or brush around your condenser unit. This can block air flow and cause the system to shut down.<\/li>\n
  4. Inspect the Indoor Unit \u2013 Check your indoor units for the same buildup of debris around them and for any other issues like dirt or dust on the coils.<\/li>\n
  5. Check the Filters \u2013 While a clogged filter would not necessarily shut down an HVAC system under normal circumstances, it could lead to such a problem if it gets bad enough.<\/li>\n
  6. Call a Professional \u2013 Finally, if you try everything listed above and you cannot get your air conditioner or heating system to turn back on or run consistently, now may be the time to call a Chalfont\u00a0heating\u00a0professional<\/a> for a thorough inspection. This is when it could be a real breakdown which is likely more costly to repair<\/a>.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    If you have a problem with your air conditioner or heating system, definitely check common issues that could have led to the breakdown, but always call Carney Plumbing, Heating & Cooling<\/a>\u00a0if real repairs are needed.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
