My Furnace Won’t Start. What Should I Do?

We recommend performing a few basic checks before you give our team a call. These troubleshooting steps might restore your heat immediately, saving you time and money.

Start by checking your thermostat. Verify that it is set to “heat” and that the target temperature exceeds the current room temperature. If the display screen is blank, try replacing the batteries (if applicable). 

Next, inspect your electrical panel for a tripped circuit breaker. If the breaker controlling the furnace flipped to the "off" or center position, reset it. If the breaker trips again after attempting to start your furnace, there is likely an electrical or airflow issue that needs to be assessed and resolved by a professional.

Finally, inspect the air filter. A severely clogged filter blocks airflow and triggers safety mechanisms that shut the system down. If you feel comfortable doing so, you can usually replace the air filter yourself.

If your furnace refuses to start even after completing these checks, your system likely needs repairs. Contact our team at All American and request same-day service.

Signs Your Furnace Needs Repairs

Your furnace will often show signs of trouble before it fails completely. Paying attention to these early indicators allows you to schedule repairs before you lose heat entirely when temperatures are at their lowest. 

We urge you to schedule a furnace inspection if you notice any of the following issues: 

• Abnormal noises. Furnaces usually run with a consistent low hum. Loud banging, screeching, or rattling sounds suggest loose or broken internal components. We need to investigate and resolve these mechanical issues immediately to prevent further damage.
• Unusual Smells: Strange odors frequently indicate unsafe conditions. For example, a burning plastic or electrical scent suggests overheating components or wiring issues that require urgent professional attention. On the other hand, a rotten egg smell warns of a natural gas leak. If you suspect a gas leak, you should turn off your furnace, evacuate your home or business, and call 9-1-1. Once you are told it’s safe to go back inside, reach out to our team for same-day repairs. 
• Yellow, orange, or flickering burner flames. The flame in your furnace should always burn blue. A yellow, orange, or flickering flame generally indicates incomplete combustion, which is often caused by a carbon monoxide leak. If you observe a yellow, orange, or flickering flame, you need to turn off your furnace, evacuate, and call 9-1-1. Our technicians can diagnose and address the underlying problem when it’s safe to go back inside. 
• Rising energy costs. A sudden spike in your utility bills without a change in usage patterns points to an efficiency problem. Your system is likely working harder than it should to generate the same amount of heat, which wastes energy and money.
• Short cycling. If your furnace turns on and off frequently without reaching the set temperature, it is short cycling. This puts excessive stress on the motor and heat exchanger, leading to premature failure if left unaddressed.
• Uneven heating. Cold spots in certain rooms or significant temperature fluctuations indicate your system cannot distribute air effectively. This often results from ductwork issues, a failing blower motor, or a clogged filter.
• Constant thermostat adjustment. You should not have to constantly tweak the thermostat to stay comfortable. If the system struggles to maintain the temperature you set, your thermostat or the furnace itself likely requires recalibration or repair.
