How to Troubleshoot Your Heating System Before You Call
Before calling for emergency service, it’s worth running through a few simple steps. Sometimes the issue can be resolved with a quick check of your system components.
Here’s a quick emergency checklist to follow:
✅ Check the emergency electrical shutoff switch.
Located near the basement steps or on the main floor—make sure it's in the “ON” position.
✅ Verify your thermostat is calling for heat.
Ensure your thermostat is set to "Heat" mode and turned up to a temperature higher than the room.
✅ Inspect the fuel level in your tank.
If your oil or propane tank is empty or too low, your system won't run. Call us for a delivery.
✅ Press the red reset button—just once.
Most furnaces and boilers have a red reset button. Press it once and listen to see if your burner ignites.
✅ Check circuit breakers and fuses
A blown fuse or tripped breaker may be the culprit. If you spot a breaker slightly off-center, switch it fully to OFF, then back to ON.
Still no heat? Don’t wait—call Garthwaite Energy at (207) 646-6911 for immediate assistance.
