When your heating system won’t kick on, doing your own furnace repair in Chatsworth, GA, can appear overwhelming. There are several time-saving, low-cost solutions you can do yourself to prevent a HVAC repair bill. If your heater won’t kick on, won’t stay on or won’t ignite, check the troubleshooting list below in advance of calling an HVAC expert.
If you realize you need help from a heating and cooling pro and live in Chatsworth, True Temp Heating & Air Inc can help you. We have the ability to repair most types of heaters.
If you need a new furnace, we also offer furnace installation.
While you’re chatting with one of our team members, consider an annual furnace maintenance plan from True Temp Heating & Air Inc that could help you avoid repairs down the line. Our team can inform you about how regularly your heater should be checked by one of our NATE-certified professionals.
Go through our straightforward checklist as follows to get to work on troubleshooting your heater. A great deal of these procedures don’t have a need for mechanical skills to complete your furnace repair.
1. Look at the Thermostat
First, ensure your thermostat is instructing your heat to start.
Digital Thermostat
If your heating hasn’t kicked on within a few minutes, make sure it has electricity by switching the fan switch from “auto” to “on.” If the fan doesn’t start, your heater may not have power.
Smart Thermostat
If you utilize a smart thermostat—such as one manufactured by Nest, Ecobee, Lux, Honeywell or Bosch—troubleshooting is very model-specific. Check the manufacturer’s website for help. If you aren’t able to get your Wi-Fi thermostat to operate, contact us at (706) 252-3728 for heating and cooling service.
2. Check Breakers and Switches
Next, verify your breaker and furnace switch are on.
Regardless of your furnace’s age or brand, it has no less than one ordinary wall switch positioned on or near it.
3. Put in a New Air Filter
When we consider heating issues, a grungy, blocked air filter is frequently the top offender.
If your filter is too grungy:
Depending on what make of furnace you use, your air filter will be within the blower compartment of your heating system, an attached filter case or wall-mounted return air grille.
To swap out your filter:
Flat filters should be replaced every month, while pleated filters should last about three months. If you have children or pets, you could have to replace your filter more often.
To make the process easier in the future, use a permanent marker on your heating system exterior or ductwork to indicate the airflow direction and filter size.
4. Check the Condensate Pan
Commonly known as drain pans, condensate pans capture water your heater pulls from the air.
If liquid is seeping from within your heating system or its pan has too much water in it, follow these steps.
5. Check for Heating Error Codes
If faults persist, peek inside your heater’s plastic window to check the blower motor’s status. Depending on the brand, the light could also be mounted on the surface of your heating system.
If you note anything except an uninterrupted, colored light or twinkling green light, reach us at (706) 252-3728 for HVAC service. Your heating system could be giving an error code that needs specialized help.
6. Brush off the Flame Sensor
If your furnace makes an effort to work but shuts off without distributing warmth, a filthy flame sensor can be responsible. When this happens, your heating system will attempt to ignite three times before a safety mechanism shuts it down for about an hour.
If you feel comfortable with opening up your heating system, cleaning your flame sensor is work you can do on your own. Or, one of our heating service professionals has the ability to do it for you.
If you are confident cleaning the sensor on your own, you require:
As the next step:
7. Reignite the Pilot Light
If you are using an outdated furnace, the pilot light could be extinguished. To relight it, look for the directions on a label on your furnace, or use these guidelines.
Inspect Your Energy Source
Try switching on a second gas appliance. If it doesn’t function, your natural gas service might be switched off, or you may have run out of propane.

This company did a great job from showing up to give a written quote to starting the job in the time frame that they promised. All of their employees were courteous and worked continually while they were on the job. The job was completed on time and correctly and then they cleaned up everything. I would highly recommend.
