What to Do When Your Furnace Stops Working

Before you call for service, run through these quick checks — they resolve a surprising number of service calls and help our technician arrive prepared if they don’t:

• Thermostat: confirm it’s set to HEAT and set above current room temperature
• Circuit breaker: locate ‘furnace’ or ‘HVAC’ and reset if tripped
• Furnace power switch: looks like a wall switch, usually near the unit — confirm it’s ON
• Air filter: if completely blocked, replace immediately before trying to restart
• Gas supply: test a gas stove or other appliance to confirm gas is flowing
• Visible error codes: many modern furnaces display an error code on the control board — note it when you call
• Strange sounds or smells: list them — they help our technician identify the problem faster

Why Prompt Action Matters

A furnace that shuts off on a safety switch — which is what happens with a dirty filter, a cracked heat exchanger, or an overheated blower — is protecting itself and you. But running the system after a safety shutoff without fixing the underlying cause can cause secondary damage that turns a $200 repair into a $1,500 problem.

Henry Covington has seen this pattern consistently in Piedmont homes: a small problem ignored becomes an expensive one. Get it diagnosed the same night it fails.
