A furnace that clicks, hums, then falls silent without heat is failing somewhere in its ignition sequence. On newer systems the usual culprits are a cracked or worn hot surface ignitor, a flame sensor coated in oxide so it cannot prove flame, or a pressure switch that will not close because the flue or condensate line is blocked. On older standing-pilot units, a pilot that lights but will not stay lit usually points to a failing thermocouple or a draft reaching the pilot assembly.

These faults follow a diagnosable order and a professional will work through it rather than replacing parts on guesswork. Repeated ignition lockouts should not be reset over and over, since each attempt puts unburned gas into the chamber. Pro HVAC connects homeowners in Gambier, OH with HVAC professionals.

Furnace Ignition And Pilot Light Repair FAQs

Frequently asked questions about Furnace Ignition and Pilot Light Repair

Questions we hear most often about Furnace Ignition and Pilot Light Repair in Gambier, OH.

Talk to a real person
Does my furnace have a reset button and how do I use it?
Many furnaces have a red or yellow reset button on the motor housing or control board. Turn power off at the breaker first, locate the button, and press it once. Restore power and test. Avoid repeated resets, as this can mask a serious problem such as a failing motor or overheating limit switch. In Gambier, OH winters, repeated tripping usually means airflow is blocked or the heat exchanger is cracked.
What causes my furnace to short cycle on and off?
Short cycling is most often caused by a dirty filter or blocked return vents that make the unit overheat and shut down. Replace the filter, clear vents, and make sure supply registers are open. A thermostat placed in direct sunlight or near a lamp can also cause rapid cycling. In Gambier, OH winters this wastes fuel and stresses the heat exchanger.
Is it safe to run my furnace if it smells like burning?
A burning smell on first startup in fall is often dust burning off the heat exchanger and may clear after a few hours. Persistent or strong odors can indicate overheating or electrical issues. Turn the thermostat down, switch power off at the breaker, and call (321) 463-9811. Do not keep running the unit in Gambier, OH winter conditions if the smell returns.
How many years does a furnace typically last before needing replacement?
Most furnaces last 15 to 20 years with regular filter changes. In Gambier, OH winters, heavy use can shorten life if maintenance is skipped. Watch for increasing repair frequency, uneven heating, or higher energy bills after year 15. A cracked heat exchanger, confirmed only by a qualified technician, requires immediate replacement for safety.
Do I need an AC recharge, or do I have a refrigerant leak?
A sealed air conditioning system does not use refrigerant up, so if the charge is low there is a leak somewhere. Cooling that weakens season after season, ice on the line set, or a hissing sound near the indoor unit all point to a leak rather than normal top-up. Adding refrigerant without locating the leak means paying again next season, and running low charge makes the compressor run hot. Ask for the leak to be found and quoted before agreeing to a recharge in Gambier, OH.
