We never really notice our HVAC system unless there is an issue with it. Common HVAC problems, ranging from easy-to-handle fixes to more complicated repairs are certainly frustrating, especially when they happen outside of business hours. We know HVAC systems always seem to have a tendency to breakdown at midnight on the coldest night of the year, leaving people desperate and frustrated. While more complicated issues are usually better left to the professionals, some common HVAC problems can often be sorted on your own. Continue below to see where we tackle some of the more typical HVAC problems and how to best handle them.

Galmiche & Sons sets the standard in St. Louis HVAC, and we look forward to helping your family stay comfortable whatever the season.
Common HVAC Problems and How to Handle Them
Your HVAC system might fail for a number of reasons. The ones we like best for our customers are the easy fixes. We tend to encourage our customers to first try the following when it comes to solving common HVAC problems:
- Check the circuit breaker – It is an easily overlooked issue that can sometimes mean the problem is solved as quick as the flip of a switch.
- Check that the filter is clean – HVAC systems require regular air filter changes but sometimes we forget in the course of our busy lives. Check that your filter is clean and able to filter properly.
- Check emergency switches – Check your system’s emergency switches to confirm they have not inadvertently been turned off.
- Check the furnace door – Make sure your furnace door is on securely. If it is not, the system may not run.
If none of these suggestions seem to do the trick, it is time to reach out to your HVAC service company. Some helpful information you can have ready for your technician upon arrival, or even when you schedule the appointment are:
- Causes of concern – Was the system making any unusual noises? Were there odd odors? Did you notice and unusual fluid leaks around the system? Anything you think might be a cause for worry should be communicated.
- Information about your system – What is the brand and model number of your unit? How old is it? When was it serviced last and by whom?
Any information you can have available for your service technician will help them to be better prepared when it comes to addressing your HVAC problems.
