What To Do If Your Furnace Stops Working

Is your furnace turned on?

All furnaces have a power switch. Look for a standard wall switch on or near your furnace. Make sure it is turned on and the panel door is secure. Many furnaces today also come with safety switches on their front panels that don’t allow the furnace to turn on if it’s not properly closed.

Check your Furnace Filter

If your furnace is turned on but isn’t blowing heat as hard as it usually does, the issue could be dirty or clogged furnace filters. Furnace filters trap dirt, dust and debris, which can restrict or block air flow over time. This prevents your furnace from working properly. Check your furnace filters monthly and change them every three months to ensure your furnace works properly.

Check your Thermostat

The thermostat is the control center of your heating system, so if there is an issue with your thermostat, you could need to troubleshoot it. To do this, set your thermostat to heat instead of cool, then set it to 5 degrees above room temperature and see if your furnace comes on. Also check the thermostat batteries. When the batteries are low, you’ll typically see a “low battery” warning, and if they die, the display will go blank and you won’t be able to operate your heating and cooling system. Replace your batteries once a year to prevent this problem and replace them as soon as possible if the battery is low or dead.

Inspect Air Ducts

If hot air is coming out of the air vents, but you notice your house is still cold, the issue may be your air ducts. Handles that protrude from the ducts are called dampers and they control air flow. Make sure they’re fully open. If entire rooms are still cold, you could have leaking ducts or incorrectly designed ducts. These are serious problems that can skyrocket your energy bills and should be looked at by an expert. Make sure your vents aren’t being blocked by furniture or objects like drapes, rugs or plants.
