When your furnace refuses to turn on, our technicians start with a systematic diagnosis. We check the thermostat settings first — making sure it’s calling for heat and the mode is set correctly. From there, we examine the furnace’s power supply, including the safety switch, circuit breaker, and electrical connections.
A common cause of furnaces that won’t start is a faulty furnace igniter replacement. The igniter is responsible for lighting the gas, and when it fails, the furnace simply won’t fire up. Our technicians test the igniter’s voltage output and inspect it for cracks or wear. Another frequent culprit is the flame sensor — if this component can’t detect a flame, the furnace locks out as a safety measure. We clean or replace flame sensors as needed during our furnace flame sensor replacement service.
For furnaces that show signs of power but won’t ignite, we also check the gas supply valve, the pressure switches, and the control board. Once we’ve identified the root cause, we explain the issue clearly and provide a straightforward repair quote. We then complete the repair and test the furnace through multiple heating cycles to confirm it runs properly before we leave your home.
