What to Do If Your Heat Goes Out in -30°C: Calgary Emergency Heating Tips

It’s every Calgary homeowner’s worst nightmare: it’s -30°C outside, your furnace suddenly stops working, and you’re left in the cold. Don’t panic—we’ve got your back.

Here’s what to do immediately:

1. Check Your Thermostat First

Is it working? Does it have batteries? Sounds basic, but you’d be surprised!

2. Look for a Tripped Breaker

Sometimes your furnace just lost power—check your electrical panel.

3. Check Your Furnace Filter

A clogged filter can make your system overheat and shut off.

4. Keep Warm While You Wait

• Close doors to trap heat in rooms

• Layer up with clothing and blankets

• Use space heaters or a fireplace safely
