What To Do When Your Heat Goes Out
Run through these checks first — they take 2 minutes and solve the most common problems.
1
Check the thermostat first
Make sure it's set to Heat mode and the temperature is above room temperature. Replace batteries if it's unresponsive. If it's fine, the problem is in the system itself.
2
Check the circuit breaker
A tripped breaker is a common cause of a furnace not turning on. Reset it once. If it trips again immediately, stop — that signals an electrical issue that needs a technician.
3
Check the air filter
A severely clogged filter can cause a furnace to overheat and shut itself off as a safety measure. If it's visibly blocked, replace it and try again.
4
Call if it still won't run
If the furnace still won't start, is blowing cold air, making unusual noises, or you smell gas — call immediately. Do not attempt to open or repair the unit yourself.
Gas smell = leave the house immediately. Call 911 and your gas company. Do not call an HVAC technician first — do not turn lights on or off, and do not use your phone inside the house.
What we handle
Furnace Problems — Diagnosed & Repaired
From a furnace that won't turn on to short cycling and replacement — connect with a licensed heating technician equipped for the job.
Furnace Won't Turn On
No heat at all? Whether your gas furnace, electric system, or heat pump won't start, a licensed technician diagnoses the root cause — igniter, flame sensor, control board, or thermostat — and gets it running.
Furnace Blowing Cold or Weak Heat
Furnace runs but the air isn't warm? Common causes include a failed heat exchanger, low gas pressure, a dirty burner, or a blower motor issue. A tech identifies the exact problem before any work begins.
Furnace Cycles On and Off
Short cycling — when a furnace keeps turning on and off — is often caused by an overheating system, a bad flame sensor, a blocked flue, or an oversized unit. Ignoring it leads to bigger repairs.
Furnace Replacement & Installation
If your system is over 15 years old, frequently breaking down, or repairs are no longer cost-effective, a technician can assess whether replacement makes more sense than continued repairs.

Frequently Asked Questions — Furnace Repair
Why is my furnace not turning on?
The most common causes of a furnace not turning on include: a tripped circuit breaker, a dead thermostat battery, a dirty or clogged air filter causing the system to overheat and shut off, a faulty igniter, or a malfunctioning flame sensor. Start with the simple checks — thermostat, breaker, filter. If none of those fix it, a furnace repair near me technician can diagnose the actual fault quickly.
Why is my furnace running but not heating the house?
If your furnace is blowing cold air or not reaching temperature, common causes include a dirty or cracked heat exchanger, a malfunctioning gas valve, a failing blower motor, or a blocked flue vent. Some of these — especially a cracked heat exchanger — also carry a carbon monoxide risk. If your furnace is not blowing hot air and you're unsure why, call a licensed technician rather than running the system.
Why does my furnace keep turning on and off?
Short cycling — when a furnace keeps shutting off after only a few minutes — is usually caused by an overheating system (often due to a clogged filter or blocked vents), a faulty flame sensor, or a problem with the pressure switch or inducer motor. Left unaddressed, short cycling causes wear and eventual failure. An emergency furnace repair tech can pinpoint the cause in one visit.
Is it safe to run a furnace that's not working properly?
It depends on the problem. A furnace with a cracked heat exchanger can leak carbon monoxide into your home — colorless, odorless, and dangerous. If your carbon monoxide detector goes off, leave the house immediately and call 911. For other issues — a furnace not turning on, blowing cold air, or making noise — keep the unit off and call a furnace repair service rather than running a malfunctioning system.
How much does furnace repair cost?
Furnace repair costs depend on the type of system, the specific part that failed, your location, and when you need service. Minor repairs like a flame sensor cleaning or capacitor replacement cost less than a blower motor or heat exchanger replacement. A licensed technician provides a diagnosis and estimate before any work begins — costs vary by local market rates.
Should I repair or replace my furnace?
A general rule: if your furnace is under 10–12 years old and the repair is less than half the cost of a new unit, repair makes sense. If it's 15+ years old, frequently breaking down, or the repair involves a major component like a heat exchanger, furnace replacement near me may be more cost-effective long-term. A technician doing a furnace repair vs. replace assessment can give you an honest recommendation after diagnosis.
Is emergency furnace repair available 24 hours near me?
Yes — a furnace not working in winter is a genuine emergency, especially in cold climates. Most licensed same day furnace repair near me services operate 24 hours including nights, weekends, and holidays. LocalHomeRequest connects you with the nearest available heating technician immediately — 24 hour furnace repair is available in most markets.
