What to Do if Your Heater Isn’t Working
Confirm the Thermostat is On
Your thermostat instructs your heating system to turn on. Check to see that the switch is set to “heat” as opposed to “off” or “cool.”
Check Your Breakers & Switches
Check your electrical panel to see if your breaker and furnace switch are on. It is labeled “furnace” or “heat” and should be switched “on.”
Replace Air Filters
A clogged air filter can often cause heating issues. Make sure your air filters are replaced following manufacturer recommendations.
Check for an Error Code
If your heating system is emitting an error code, consider seeking professional assistance. Check its status before calling us for help.
Clean Flame Sensors
A dirty flame sensor could be responsible if your heater tries to start but shuts off without putting out heat. If this is the case, clean it.
Reignite the Pilot Light
If you have a gas heating system, the pilot light may be out. To relight it, follow the instructions on the label on your heating unit.
Check Your Fuel Supply
To see if there is an outage, try switching on another appliance. If it doesn’t work, the power could be out, or you could be out of gas.
Drain the Condensate Pan
Your heater removes water from the air, which collects in a condensate pan. This container requires regular draining to avoid leaks.
Clear Blocked Vents
Blocked vents can prevent your heater from functioning properly. Try cleaning the vents of your heater to remove any potential obstructions.
