What it usually is
Common causes are dead batteries, a tripped breaker or safety switch on the furnace or air handler, or a blown low-voltage connection. A new smart thermostat is a flat rate when you supply it.
What to do first
Replace batteries if yours uses them, check the breaker for the heating system, and make sure the furnace door or panel is fully closed. Do not touch wires at the furnace.
The flat rate that covers it
- Smart thermostat / video doorbell install: $129
- Electrical troubleshooting: $79
Lakewood is a Pierce County city of mostly mid-century single-family homes, with lakes and wooded lots throughout. Lakewood's tree-covered lots give roots plenty of chances to find an older sewer line, and ramblers there often have only one cleanout.
