Repair Tips
In most cases, you may want to call on an HVAC expert to make any necessary repairs to your electric furnace. However, there are some repairs you may be able to do on your own, and these are listed below: If your furnace doesn't turn on, you may have tripped a circuit breaker. Simply go to your electrical panel and check to see if any of breakers are off and if so, switch it back to the on position. When the air coming from your furnace isn’t warm enough, you should make sure you have the temperature on the thermostat at the right level. Another common problem that is possible involves your blower being clogged, and it should be cleaned.
