Scroll through the diagnostic path
Record the symptoms
Note whether the furnace starts, how long it runs, thermostat messages, fault lights, sounds, smells, airflow, and when the problem began.
Carry this into my request →01 · Urgent safety
Know when to stop.
- 01
If a carbon-monoxide alarm sounds or anyone has possible exposure symptoms, get everyone outside, call 911, and wait for emergency responders to say it is safe to return.
- 02
If you smell gas, leave immediately. Avoid switches, flames, phones, or anything that may create a spark inside; call the gas utility or 911 from outside.
- 03
If there is smoke or fire, leave and call 911. Do not continue troubleshooting the furnace.
- 04
After heavy snow, visually check outdoor furnace vents from a safe location and keep snow from blocking them. Do not dismantle venting or combustion equipment.
02 · Symptom index
Start with what the system is doing.
These observations make a service request more useful. They do not confirm the failed part.

03 · Diagnostic path
From symptom to an on-site answer.
- 01
Record the symptoms
Note whether the furnace starts, how long it runs, thermostat messages, fault lights, sounds, smells, airflow, and when the problem began.
- 02
Make safe homeowner checks
Confirm the thermostat setting, replace a clearly dirty filter if the manufacturer permits it, and check the ordinary furnace switch and electrical panel once. Do not repeatedly reset a fault.
- 03
Inspect and test on site
A technician can evaluate power, controls, ignition, flame proving, airflow, temperature rise, venting, drainage, and other system-specific components.
- 04
Choose repair, monitor, or replace
The decision should reflect the failed part, safety, equipment age and condition, repair history, efficiency, parts availability, and the home's heating needs.
04 · Decision factors
Repair, monitor, or replace?
- Household safety, indoor temperature, and people at greater risk from cold
- Furnace fuel, model, age, fault code, and repair history
- Whether a gas, smoke, or carbon-monoxide warning changes the response
- Parts availability and access to the equipment
- Temporary freeze protection if repair cannot be completed immediately
05 · Common questions
Clear answers. No guesswork.
01What information helps triage a no-heat call?+
Share the address or neighbourhood, indoor temperature, furnace fuel and approximate age, thermostat behaviour, fault code, recent sounds or smells, filter condition, and whether any gas or carbon-monoxide alarm is involved.
02Should I keep resetting a furnace that will not ignite?+
No. One check of ordinary power and thermostat settings may be reasonable, but repeated resets can hide a recurring fault. Stop if the system locks out again or anything seems unsafe.
03How do I protect pipes while the heat is out?+
Keep vulnerable areas safely warm if you have an approved backup heat source, open interior doors where appropriate, and monitor indoor temperature. Never use an oven, barbecue, generator, or unvented outdoor appliance for indoor heat.
