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.
