No Heat
Total heat loss in this climate moves ahead of everything else on the schedule, so call and say how cold the house has gotten and how fast.
When this becomes an emergency
- Nothing at all happens when the thermostat is turned up.
- The breaker feeding the furnace has tripped and won't stay set.
- The tank gauge reads empty or the shutoff at the tank was closed.
- Indoor temperature has been sliding steadily since the last time the burner ran.
What a pro does
Power and fuel get ruled out before anything gets taken apart. A dead system with a tripped breaker, an open service switch, a blown low-voltage fuse on the board, or an empty tank behaves exactly like a mechanically failed one from the hallway, and eliminating those over the phone can save a homeowner a long wait for a truck that only needed to flip a switch. From there the tech walks the call for heat from the thermostat through the board and into the ignition sequence, watching which safety opened and why. Most no-heat calls end at a control that shut things down correctly rather than one that's broken.
