Why is my heating not coming on after summer?
Most heating systems work on a thermostat and won’t come on until the temperature falls below that set on the thermostat. If it doesn’t come on it may just not be cold enough! If a radiator doesn’t come on at all or isn’t warm enough just check the valve that controls the temperature on the radiator itself.

Are there water heater problems in the summer?
While water heaters do seem to have more problems during the colder months, the arrival of summer can bring some other unique problems. This is especially true if your water heater is located in your attic or your garage where there is no air conditioning.
Why is my hot water heater not working?
There are two common reasons why this occurs. When the temperature of the air surrounding your water heater is higher than the temperature set on its thermostat, the gas valve will fail to open and light the main burner. The heat from the pilot light flame is not strong enough to produce an adequate natural draft.
What causes the pilot light on a water heater to go out?
When this happens, any available oxygen will quickly burn up, thus causing the pilot light to go out. Poor ventilation can cause improper gas combustion. This happens because hot air rises; taking the oxygen that is needed for the heater’s burner. The pilot light will then fail to remain lit.

How to keep babies and children out of the heat?
Encourage your older child to drink regularly. Dress babies and children in light, loose clothing. Protect them from the sun with a broad-brimmed hat and sunscreen. For sleeping, choose the coolest room in the house. Keep the heat out by closing the curtains and make sure fresh air can circulate around the bassinette or cot (no liners or padding).
