I guess the problem was that the battery in my thermostat unit was dead and so the thermostat could not communicate with the furnace
I had an HVAC technician come over to the house yesterday to help me out with my electric furnace that wasn’t working correctly. I didn’t know what the problem with the heating system was since I don’t really know anything about HVAC systems at all. I just knew that no matter how high I turned the temperature up on the thermostat in my house, nothing would start heating up. The digital readout on the thermostat would go up the way that it was supposed to, and so I thought that everything was just fine with the thermostat. However, the furnace itself wouldn’t work and so I was walking around the house freezing. It’s been so cold around here lately that there was no way that I could stand to be without a working furnace for any length of time. When the HVAC technician came into the house, he did not even take off his winter coat! I told him that he shouldn’t, since the house was so cold . I just knew that there was something terribly wrong with my furnace and that it was going to cost me a fortune to get it fixed. However, when the HVAC technician took a look at it, it took him less than a minute to get everything working again. I guess the problem was that the battery in my thermostat unit was dead and so the thermostat could not communicate with the furnace. I guess the digital readout was still working because it doesn’t take very much power. It was so embarrassing when he told me the problem.
