People who have just moved to Florida to experience the long, sunny days are a little surprised when ‘winter’ finally comes. When it’s 40-50 degrees outside, that may barely qualify as ‘sweater weather’ to someone from Minnesota, but to a Floridian, it’s COLD. The humidity factor makes the cold go right through you. Suddenly, people rush out for a pickup truck load of wood for the fireplace. Okay, it may be barely cold enough for the flue to draw properly, but Floridians with a fireplace use it at any opportunity!
The fireplace is a lovely backdrop for entertaining or enjoying a cozy evening at home, but they depend on their heating systems for warmth. Even when the temperature seldom reaches the freezing point, a properly functioning heating system matters. When no heat is coming from the vents, there are a few things to check before calling the experts.
* One of the most common problems is that the thermostat is not at the correct settings. Dig out the manual and double-check. The fix might be this simple.
* While you’ve got the instruction manual handy, check the settings for the dehumidistat. It should be ‘On’.
* The next thing to check would be to make sure that there is not a tripped circuit breaker. Turn the breaker completely ‘Off’ and then ‘On’.
* You can also try turning the entire system ‘Off’ and wait to see if it will reset itself. If nothing happens, it’s time to make the call.
* Reset the circuit breaker for the outdoor heat pump. Turn it completely ‘Off’ and then ‘On’.
* The air filter may be old and completely plugged up. Change it.
* Check to see if the outdoor coil has iced up. If so, schedule a service call with your
