Furnace Not Turning On? Start Here
Work in order: thermostat batteries and setpoint, furnace switch, breaker, and filter. Then listen: an inducer that runs but never lights points to ignition or pressure-switch faults, while total silence points to power, thermostat, or control board. Note any flashing error code on the board, and tell us what you see when you call. It shortens diagnosis considerably.

Frequently Asked Questions
What should I check first for this furnace problem?
Start with thermostat batteries and setpoint, the furnace switch, the breaker, and the filter. Note any error code and when the problem started, then call us with those details.
Can I fix this furnace problem myself?
A filter change and thermostat batteries are safe homeowner jobs. Gas, ignition, heat exchanger, venting, and electrical work should be left to a technician, and safety switches should never be bypassed.
When should I call for emergency furnace help?
No heat in cold weather, a gas smell, a burning smell, or a carbon monoxide alarm all count as emergencies. If you smell gas, leave and call from outside.
How do I prevent this problem next winter?
Book a fall tune-up, change the filter on schedule, clear vents and the outdoor vent termination, and test carbon monoxide alarms before the first hard freeze.
