Thermostat Settings
- Temperature Control: Ensure the thermostat is set to a temperature higher than the current room temperature.
- System Switch: Set to HEAT or AUTO.
- Fan Switch: Set to ON for continuous airflow or AUTO to have the blower operate only when the furnace is running.
Testing the Furnace
- Raise Thermostat Setting: Increase the thermostat to its highest setting to try to activate the furnace.
Air Flow and Filters
- Check Air Filter: Inspect the air filter; replace it if it is extremely dirty, as this can block air flow.
- Registers: Ensure all air registers are open and unobstructed.
Electrical and Gas Checks
- Power Disconnect Switch: Verify the power disconnect switch near the furnace is in the ON position.
- Fuse/Breaker: Check the fuse or breaker at the electrical panel to ensure it hasn’t tripped.
- Gas Control Valve: Confirm that the gas control valve leading to the furnace is open.
Pilot Light
- Pilot Light: For systems with a pilot light, check that it is lit. Note that electronic ignitions do not have a pilot light.
