Homeowner Maintenance Guidance for Albuquerque Residents

Verify that your furnace was calibrated for mile-high altitude.

Check Thermostat Setting:Confirm the system switch is set to "HEAT" and the fan is on "AUTO" to avoid room-temperature air circulating between cycles.

Inspect Filter Condition:Clogged return filters cause heat to build up inside the plenum, tripping the high-temperature limit switch and locking out burners.

Test Carbon Monoxide Alarms:Install and test digital CO detectors on every level of your Albuquerque home, especially outside sleeping areas.
