If you’re having trouble with your American Standard furnace, the good news is that there’s plenty of things you can do to troubleshoot the problem before you call your HVAC company. Often these are simple tasks that can fix the problem, or at least help you pinpoint the problem area. If your furnace isn’t working, try these following steps:


Step 1: If you have a gas furnace, call your gas company to make sure the gas hasn’t been shut off. Often construction in the area can cause this temporarily. You can request to have the gas turned back on, or if it’s an issue with the line they can come repair it.


Step 2: One issue that’s more common than you think is the furnace being unplugged. If you’ve been working or moving things around your furnace, it’s easy for it to become unplugged. If it’s plugged in but you still aren’t getting power, check the circuit breaker and fuses and make sure they don’t need to be replaced.


Step 3: Another really simple one is to make sure your thermostat is set correctly. It may have been accidentally shut off or set improperly. Also make sure the timer isn’t set, as that will give you a lower temperature then what you may have momentarily set.


Step 4: If you might be having some lockout issues, switch the power on and off twice within 30 seconds. This is a standard reset procedure for American Standard furnaces.


Step 5: Blocked airflow can cause plenty of trouble with your furnace. There are a few things you can do to prevent this:


  • Replace any dirty air filters
  • Clear and plants or debris on or around your outside unit
  • Close the windows in your home

  • Step 6: Make sure the blower doors are closed properly. If they are slightly open, this may cause issues with the furnace.

    Appreciated a quick response to my request. Dave and Greg were very professional and made the experience seamless.

    by petesalmon938 from Pickering on Twintech Heating and Cooling

    Very professional through the entire process. Installation and removel was done on a sloppy winter day, they put down runners on the floors and stairs and when they left, there wasn;t any sign of someone being in our house. Furnace works great as promised.

    by alenahawco from Whitby on Twintech Heating and Cooling

    Dave was very pleasant to deal with and Twintech responded quickly when our furnace needed to be replaced ASAP. Installation was done on time and the crew were neat and tidy. We now have a great furnace that suits the needs of our family.

    by Isatta From Pickering on Twintech Heating and Cooling

    When your furnace kicks in over the holidays and you're not sure where to turn.. I'm so thankful that this company returned my phone call. I appreciated their transparency and clarity which allowed me to make an informed decision. With various quotes thrown at you, it can be difficult to make the right decision and trust the solutions offered by different companies. TwinTech spoke the truth and delivered on their word. Neat, timely and clean service; the peace of mind I needed during a very cold holiday season. I highly recommend them!

    by eryna from Oshawa on Twintech Heating and Cooling

    Pulling a old unit out and installing a modern heating system! Required drilling holes in the wall for the newer pipes. We went from 70% (I am willing to bet it was far less due to lack of maintenance and just old) to 96% newer . It now feels warmer and more pressure and we use to run extra heaters and feel as though they are not necessary!

    by silvercola from Toronto on Twintech Heating and Cooling

    I received three quotes before deciding to choose Twintech. Dave's prices was much more reasonable than the competitors. I most appreciated their honest recommendations. Others tried to oversell their products and services. Thank you Dave!

    by Shane from Whitby on Twintech Heating and Cooling

    They had the best price and did a great job on the installation. Recommend them to anyone.

    by Linda, Toronto on Twintech Heating and Cooling

    My 19 year old furnace stopped working when the cold weather hit in November, and I was left without heat. I interviewed several companies and found TWINTECH HEATING and COOLING to be very knowledgeable, quick to respond to my inquiries and very competitively priced.
    Dave provided all of the information and pricing ahead of time and set up the appointment for the installation. Greg and Mitch arrived on time to do the installation and worked quickly and efficiently to complete the job.
    After the completion of the installation, Dave followed up to ensure that everything was working well and that I didn't have any concerns.
    Overall, this was a low-stress and flawless experience from start to finish. I would highly recommend TWINTECH HEATING and COOLING to anyone that requires a new furnace.

    by Sean, Whitby on Twintech Heating and Cooling

    Our 20 year old furnace broke down during the first cold weekend this past November and our usual HVAC company never returned our phone call. Their loss, missing out on a sale since we didn't want to spend much fixing an old furnace and our 40 year old air conditioner was also long overdue for replacement. We proceeded in obtaining three different quotes for furnace and air conditioner replacement, and proceeded with the one we received from Twintech.


    Dave was friendly, knowledgable and accommodating to our schedule and provided with us with a price that fell in the middle of the three quotes that we had. We felt that the Amana furnace and air conditioner he quoted us on were the best products and value offered to us and felt most comfortable with the professionalism and reputation of Twintech.


    Greg, Grant and Mitch were at our house for installation the day after we decided to proceed. The guys were friendly and informative, the job was completed efficiently and workmanship appears excellent. Our house is certainly much more comfortable with the new two-stage variable speed Amana furnace compared to the old clunker! And, we're looking forward to enjoying the new air conditioner once summer rolls around again. Thanks Twintech!

    by Aaron on Twintech Heating and Cooling

    We are very happy to recommend this company to everyone. Our furnace broke down on Sunday morning. We phoned them and before noon Grant the owner showed up. He worked on the furnace for about a hour not wanting to give up to fix the problem. The furnace was 17 years old. I was the one talking about replacing it. End result was the next day it was all done. On the Sunday Bob came over with heaters to warm up the house. We decided to replace the water heater at the same time. Thanks Grant for the excellent work. Thumbs up.

    by Linda on Twintech Heating and Cooling

    Right on time. Explained how to work the HRV in a different way so the house would not be so dry. Changed my whole house water filter for me as well. Friendly, helpful, caring service!

    by Robert Rogers on Twintech Heating and Cooling

    Very pleased with the professional service that TwinTech Heating and Cooling provided in replacing my furnace. I got several quotes from different service providers.

    We were new homeowners in need of a second opinion. TwinTech Heating & Cooling were Amazing and professional. Very knowledgeable and great service all around. Recommend to anyone looking for honest and reliable services. Treated with respect and care. Thank you Greg, Mitch and Bob!

    by Ruth on Twintech Heating and Cooling

    TwinTech is an excellent and honest company! I called them for a second opinion after being told by another company that I needed to replace my furnace. Turns out this was not the case at all! I did not need a new furnace. TwinTech did not push to make an unnecessary sale and saved me from a huge expense. Bob and Mitch were extremely professional and above all honest! I definitely recommend TwinTech!
