What to do when your heat goes out in the middle of winter
The cold weather has officially arrived in the northeast as temperatures continue to sit well below the freezing mark.
With how bad the deep freeze outside is, the need to keep the inside warm grows. Sometimes, those needs aren’t met as furnaces and boilers can get overworked and eventually quit. With that in mind, it’s important to know what to do in these situations.
NortheastNOW was able to speak with a local technician from Main Plumbing and Heating, Chad Miller who said one of the main causes he sees is air filters, among other things.
“The biggest thing you can do when the heat goes out is to check the air filter, we see that a lot of times,” he said. “That’ll stop the air from flowing around and the furnace will shut off. Another thing is making sure the vents are clear and not iced up or in a snowbank.”
