If you’re having issues with your heating and cooling system, it’s always a good idea to check your thermostat first.
That’s what I have figured out, anyway.
Over the past few years, I have finally gotten comfortable with living in and owning my own house. This is the first time that I have ever owned a home of my own and so I am still relatively new to all of the things that come along with it! I mean, I don’t know anything about landscaping or plumbing and electricity or the HVAC system in my house. I honestly don’t know much about anything at all when it comes to home repairs of any kind. So whenever the furnace stopped working correctly a few weeks ago, I really had no idea at all what could be wrong with it. I immediately started to think the worst because it’s still the middle of winter. Around here, you can’t go very long at all without a working furnace during the winter! We have really cold weather here during the winter and I personally am not super used to the weather at all since I have not lived here for long. Anyway, when I thought that the furnace was broken, I basically panicked at first. It’s because I was afraid that I was going to have to buy a brand new furnace and I didn’t have the money to fix it right away. I was having a bit of a panic attack about it and that’s when someone told me that I should check the thermostat unit. It turned out that the only thing that was wrong was that I needed a new battery in my thermostat!
