Kemmerer asks a lot of a furnace
Your furnace runs from August through June here, 11 months a year. On winter nights that average 8°F, it runs long and hard to keep the house warm, and that kind of demand wears on the igniter and the heat exchanger faster than it would somewhere milder.
Almost half the homes in this area heat with electricity, so a power outage stops the heat too. The region has logged 307 winter storms and 29 damaging wind events over the past ten years, and statewide, about 8% of households lost power for a full day or more in 2024. Most furnaces come back on by themselves once power returns, but if something failed while it was down, you will notice the house is not warming up.

- Why is my heat not working?
- Start with the thermostat and the power to the furnace. If the thermostat screen is blank, check the breaker and any switch that looks like a light switch near the furnace itself. A furnace that won't fire at all is often an ignition problem, and with winter nights here dropping to 8°F, that's not something to leave for later. If the burners try to light and then shut off, or the blower runs but no warm air comes out, a contractor needs to look at it.
- Why is my system running but not cooling the house?
- Check the air filter first. A filter clogged with dust blocks airflow across the coil, and when that happens the system can run for hours without actually cooling the rooms. If the filter is clean, check that the outdoor unit isn't buried in leaves or debris, since it needs open airflow to release heat. If both of those look fine and the house still isn't cooling, the refrigerant charge or the coil itself likely needs a contractor's attention.
- What can I check before calling for HVAC repair?
- Check the thermostat batteries and settings, the air filter, and the breaker for the system. A dead thermostat display usually means batteries or a tripped breaker, not a failed furnace or air conditioner. A dirty filter can cause weak airflow, short cycling, or a system that runs constantly without keeping up. If those check out and the problem is still there, tell the contractor what you found. It narrows down what they need to look at first.
