Is there anything I can check myself before booking a service call?
Yes, a few things you can check yourself. One is the breaker box inside. Make sure a breaker hasn't tripped. A lot of times this time of year after a thunderstorm or a storm goes by, power has the means to trip. So check that out to make sure you're not, you know, without power because it needs power to actually work. So I would check that and I would check your thermostat. A lot of times we go to a house and the thermostat is not actually on, which is kind of weird. So check your thermostat to make sure it is on. It is calling for whatever season you're in. If you're in cooling, make sure the cooling is set on. If it's in heating, then make sure the heating is set on. So those are a couple things you can check quickly before you give us a call.
