Furnace Not Starting? Check These First

Once summer has ended and temperatures begin to drop, you may start your furnace at night to warm the house. If your furnace or heat pump won’t kick on, you should check a few things before calling a Las Vegas heating company. Check the thermostat mode, breaker, air filters, and pilot light or ignition.

Thermostat mode

Believe it or not, many “broken furnace” calls end up being tied to incorrect thermostat settings. Make sure your thermostat isn’t set to “cool” or “off” before calling an HVAC company. Set the thermostat to “heat” and make sure the target temperature is set higher than the room’s current temperature. If you have a smart thermostat, check that the Wi-Fi hasn’t lost connection or that a certain schedule is programmed.

Breaker

Another common reason your furnace might not start is a tripped circuit breaker. Even if your furnace is gas-powered, it still runs on electricity, since the motor, igniter, and control board all need power. Check your home’s electrical panel for any tripped breakers labeled for the furnace or HVAC system. If it's tripped, reset it once. If it trips again, call an electrician.

Air filters

Dirty or clogged air filters restrict airflow and can cause your furnace to overheat and shut itself off automatically. If your filter is visibly dirty or hasn’t been changed in the past 1-3 months, replace it. This easy fix may resolve your heating issue.

Pilot light or ignition

Older furnaces use a pilot light, while newer models rely on electronic ignition. Check whether or not your furnace’s pilot light is lit. Sometimes it can get blown out accidentally. Electronic ignition issues are harder to diagnose yourself and often point to a faulty igniter or flame sensor that needs professional attention.

If you’ve checked all of these things and your furnace still isn’t working properly, call BEST at (702) 970-4911. Avoid putting heating repairs off to prevent further issues from developing or being left cold on a chilly desert night.

Common Heating Failures After a Vegas Summer

Las Vegas summers are hard on HVAC systems, and even though your furnace hasn’t been used in months, heat, dust, and inactivity can still take a toll. You may be surprised to find out your furnace or heat pump won’t start when temperatures finally drop.

Dust & debris buildup

With your furnace sitting idle all spring and summer, dust and debris could have settled into the burners, blower motor, and air filters. Buildup can restrict airflow once you finally turn your furnace on and clog components, or even create a burning smell as dust on the heat exchanger burns off.

Dead batteries or thermostat issues

By the time you need the heat, your thermostat may have developed issues after a long cooling season of use. Batteries die, programming can glitch, and a thermostat that worked fine for cooling may suddenly not call for heat.

Pilot light or ignition failures

Furnaces may have trouble lighting after sitting idle for so long, especially if dust or debris has interfered with the igniter or flame sensor. Electronic ignition systems can fail, and pilot lights can go out after sitting unused for a while.

Cracked heat exchangers

If you have an aging heat exchanger, the extreme summer heat can cause small cracks to develop or worsen. A cracked heat exchanger is a serious issue that can allow dangerous carbon monoxide to leak into your home. If your furnace smells strange or you suspect a crack, go outside and call an HVAC company.

Worn-out capacitors & motors

Periods of inactivity can be tough on aging electrical components. Aging capacitors and blower motors may fail once the system is asked to run again. Worn-out electrical components often lead to a furnace that hums but won’t start or one that starts and then shuts off.

If you’re having issues with your heating system, BEST Air Conditioning Plumbing Repair can diagnose the problem and make targeted repairs.

Heat Pump Heating Repairs in Las Vegas

Heat pumps are a very popular choice for Las Vegas homeowners since they can handle both heating and cooling with one system. If your heat pump was providing cool air all summer long but suddenly won’t work for heating, call BEST Air Conditioning Plumbing Repair for help.

The most common heat pump issues include:

• Stuck in cooling mode
• Faulty reversing valve
• Low refrigerant levels
• Restricted airflow from dust and debris buildup

Our certified technicians are knowledgeable about the major heat pump brands and systems and can effectively diagnose whether the issue is mechanical, electrical, or refrigerant-related. Don’t wait to be stuck without heat on a cold night. Call BEST at (702) 970-4911 or book an appointment online for heat pump repair in Las Vegas.

Beat the First Cold Snap: Pre-Season Heating Tune-Ups for Las Vegas Homes

One of the best ways to avoid furnace or heat pump issues at the start of the season is to get a pre-season tune-up. Pre-season tune-ups help catch small issues before they become major heating emergencies. A heat pump or furnace tune-up enables our technicians to clean your system, test electrical components, check for cracks or leaks, and ensure it’s ready for the winter heating season.

During a tune-up, we typically:

• Inspect and clean essential components
• Test and calibrate the thermostat
• Check electrical connections, capacitors, and the igniter or pilot light
• Inspect ductwork and air filters for blockages or leaks
• Test safety controls, including carbon monoxide safeguards

Schedule a tune-up before the cold weather hits to prepare your heating system for regular use. Consider joining our Cool Club for annual tune-ups to keep your equipment in top condition and catch potential issues early.

How Much Does Furnace Repair Cost?

The cost of furnace repair depends on the type of repair needed, the age and condition of the system, the severity of the problem, and the time of year.

• Type of repair needed: Cost is highly dependent on the type of repair. Simple fixes, like resetting a tripped breaker or calibrating a thermostat, are much less expensive than repairing a cracked heat exchanger or a failed blower motor.
• Age and condition: The age and condition of your furnace or heat pump also impacts the cost of repair. Older furnaces may have parts that are harder to source, which can add to costs, or aging systems may need full replacements.
• Severity of problem: Minor issues caught early likely won’t be as expensive as a full breakdown or neglected system.
• Time of year: Avoid emergency HVAC repair service demand during peak times by scheduling a pre-season tune-up before the first cold front.
