What to Do if Your Furnace Is Not Working


As winter takes its position in Ottawa, your best bet for keeping your place warm is a trusty furnace. But things aren't always perfect and homeowners may need help. However, if your furnace is not working in Ottawa, a few common issues with their solutions can help you back to your comfort in no time.




A dirty or blocked air filter is one of the most common causes of furnace failure. Over time, filters can get clogged with dust and dirt, which can block airflow and make the furnace overheat. Replacing or cleaning filters regularly is an easy way to prevent this situation.


A faulty thermostat is another culprit. If your thermostat isn’t working right or the batteries are dead, it may not be sending the right signals to your furnace. Be sure your thermostat is set to “heat” and check the temperature settings.


In some older models, the pilot light or ignition system may fail. If the pilot light is not working properly, the furnace cannot heat. Checking and relighting the pilot light, if necessary, can solve the issue. If it does not work, further exploration may be needed.


Furnace components also aren’t immune to freezing in Ottawa’s cold, especially in homes with inadequate insulation. It can lead to inefficiencies and basically break down. Insulate properly, seal drafts, and freeze no more!


When it comes down to the situation of furnace not workingin Ottawa, timely maintenance is the solution. A skilled technician will be able to recognize any potential issues and resolve them before they become major problems by getting the unit serviced at regular intervals.


If basic troubleshooting hasn’t gotten your furnace working, it’s time to call in a trusted local HVAC professional. They can diagnose the problem, provide quick repairs and give advice for keeping your furnace running when Ottawa’s cold sets in.


Ensure that your furnace is operating effectively by dealing with any problems as soon as possible.
