My Furnace Won’t Start Tips Before Call for Service
Before you make a call for furnace repair, here are several things that you can do to troubleshoot the heating system.
Check the thermostat.
Make sure the thermostat is set to the heating function and that the temperature set point is higher than the ambient temperature. If necessary, turn the fan to the “on” mode. Check and replace batteries every year.
Check the power.
Even gas systems use electricity. Check to make sure the circuit breaker to the heating equipment has not tripped. Inspect the system’s power cord for signs of damage. Make sure the power switch is in the “on” position.
Look at the control board of the heating system and see if there are any burn marks that indicate an electrical short. Make sure all panels are on secure and safety switch is depressed.
Check the blower.
The blower compartment has an inspection window with a light that should be flashing green. If it is red or not flashing, there could be a problem with the blower motor, transformer, control board or run capacitor. Most newer heaters will flash failure code
Check the pilot light.
If the pilot light has gone out, relight it. Once the flame is lit, check to make sure it reaches the bottom of the thermocouple switch. If the pilot light goes out right after you light it, the assembly or sensor could be dirty.
Check the gas.
A disruption of the gas supply to your home could leave your heating system without fuel. If you smell gas, leave your home immediately and then contact us for urgent repair service.
Check air filter
Check and replace your air filter every 6 months. Many times a dirty or plugged up air filter will cause restriction of air flow across the heat exchanger causing the furnace to shut down.
After taking these troubleshooting steps, contact us if your heating system still does not start or if you are unsure of how to do any of these troubleshooting steps.
