Emergency heating repair in Marlborough: questions
My power is back but the furnace isn't running. Why?
Some furnaces need a reset after power loss, or a breaker may have tripped. Try the service switch off and on once; if it still will not run, call.
Can snow cause my furnace to stop?
Yes. High-efficiency furnaces vent through plastic pipes on a side wall or roof. If snow or ice blocks them, the furnace shuts down for safety.
