What to Do Next: No Heat Steps

When the heat cuts out, run these quick checks first.

Step 1

Confirm Thermostat and Power

Set to Heat, raise the temperature, replace stat batteries if used, make sure the furnace switch and breaker are on.

Step 2

Check the Filter and Airflow

Replace a clogged filter, open all supply and return vents, remove items blocking the furnace cabinet.

Step 3

Read the Code Light

Look through the window on the blower door and record the blink pattern. Enter it in the tool to decode the fault.

Step 4

Clear Intake, Exhaust, and Condensate

Remove snow, ice, or leaves from outdoor terminations. Empty the condensate trap and ensure the hose is not kinked.

Step 5

Safe Reset

Turn power off at the switch for one full minute, then back on. Wait through one ignition attempt and note any change.

Step 6

Decide: Fix Now or Book

If heat returns, monitor the system. If faults repeat or any safety flag appears, book same-day furnace repair or call 905-928-6831.

FAQ: No Heat in Hamilton

How do I find my furnace error code?

Open the small view window on the blower door and note the blink pattern. Count long blinks and short blinks, then match it in the tool.

The inducer runs but there is no flame. What does that usually mean?

Often a vent or pressure issue. Check for snow or ice at the intake and exhaust, empty the condensate trap, then run the tool steps.

My furnace lights then shuts off after a few seconds. What is the likely cause?

A weak or dirty flame sensor is common. Turn power off, gently clean the rod with a fine pad, reinstall, and retest.

The blower runs but the air is cold. Where should I look first?

Confirm the thermostat is on Heat, temperature is higher than room, and the furnace service switch and breaker are on. Make sure the gas valve is open.

When should I stop DIY and call for service?

If you smell gas, a CO alarm sounds, the breaker trips again, you see scorch marks, or the tool points to a failed safety device.
