You should double check your thermostat connections if your power goes off at any time.
That’s because certain thermostats out there are actually wired in instead of battery powered.
If you don’t know which a one you have, occasions are when your thermostat is wired in. If it were battery powered, then you would really have had to change the batteries by this point. Anyway, a few weeks ago, I noticed that my heating system was not working properly for some reason. The weather is still chilly around here and the snow is still on the ground pretty thickly. We had a chilly snap the same night, the power went out all over the neighborhood. The temperature in the home got chilly fast. It was a nice thing that we have a wood burning fireplace in the house. If we had not had the wood burning fireplace, I think that we would have really frozen that night! we weren’t prepared to be without power, that’s for sure. Anyway, over the next few mornings, the power came back on but the home wasn’t heating up the way that I thought it should have. It turned out that there wasn’t something wrong with the heating system after all. The problem was actually that we forgot to reset the thermostat after the power came on. I thought that it would just come back on and start to run the same schedule but it didn’t! If you have a problem with your heating system, check your thermostat connections before you call for repairs.
