Run through these steps.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Check Your Thermostat<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: The first thing you\u2019re going to want to do is check your home\u2019s thermostat. A power outage can make things in your home go a little haywire. Make sure that your thermostat is still in heating mode and that it\u2019s set to an appropriate temperature so that it will actually heat your home.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Take a Look at Your Circuit Breaker<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: the next thing you\u2019re going to want to do is check your circuit breaker. Of course, your circuit breaker might trip during an outage. You just need to make sure that your circuit breaker is set and ready to perform.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><b>Reset the System<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">: You might need to reset your furnace. All you need to do is go over to your furnace and locate a reset button. It\u2019s typically red or yellow. If it\u2019s been tripped during an outage it will probably be raised. Make sure that you press this button down to make sure that the furnace is ready to run again.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Consider Generator Services<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When the power goes out, it\u2019s a perfect time to consider generator services for your home. A more permanent solution to figuring out how to circumnavigate a power outage is with a generator. When we\u2019re talking about generators, we\u2019re talking about whole-house generators. Of course, you can invest in a portable generator, but we don\u2019t think that it\u2019s as worthwhile as a whole house system. If you\u2019re looking for reliable generator services in the area, then we can refer you to the right professionals for these services.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Get Professional Help When You Need It<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If any of these suggestions to troubleshoot your furnace issue don\u2019t work, then you may need professional <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.resheatandair.com\/service-areas\/mn\/bloomington\/heating\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">furnace repair in Bloomington, MN<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">.
