My Furnace Suddenly Stopped Working

Posted On: February 11, 2025

My Furnace Suddenly Stopped Working

If your furnace suddenly stopped working, here are some steps to troubleshoot the issue before calling a professional:


1. Check the Thermostat

  • Ensure it’s set to "Heat" mode.
  • Increase the temperature a few degrees to see if the furnace kicks on.
  • Replace the thermostat batteries if it runs on them.

2. Inspect the Power Supply

  • Check if the furnace switch (typically on the side of the unit) is turned on.
  • Make sure the circuit breaker hasn’t tripped; reset it if necessary.

3. Examine the Air Filter

  • A clogged air filter can cause overheating and shut down the furnace. Replace a dirty filter and try restarting the system.

4. Check the Pilot Light (for Gas Furnaces)

  • If you have an older gas furnace, the pilot light may have gone out and needs to be relit.
  • If you smell gas, turn off the furnace immediately and contact a professional.

5. Inspect the Furnace Door

  • Many furnaces have a safety switch that prevents operation if the access panel is not securely closed.

6. Look at the Condensate Drain (for High-Efficiency Furnaces)

  • If the drain line is clogged, the furnace may shut down. Try clearing it out.

7. Reset the Furnace

  • Turn off the furnace at the breaker, wait 30 seconds, then turn it back on.

If these steps don’t resolve the issue, it may require professional service.

I left a live chat message on their website that my air conditioning was not working. Within 1hr a representative called me to discuss my options.
The next day he came to the house to review my needs and give me a price for a new system. Price quoted was less than I expected and the installation was completed the following day. I found their salesman and the installers very knowledgeable and easy to deal with. All my questions were answered. Everything was properly explained in regards to what unit was needed and why, along with instruction where needed for use.
The installers made sure everything was working properly before they left.

This is to thank Twintech Heating and Cooling for their exceptional and timely service. Mitch, their technician was very courteous and generous with his time right from his first meeting with us. He not only took the time to check everything but also educated us on why we needed what he recommended. Greg and Mitch graciously accommodated us on our requested day and time for job to be done. They were both very courteous and responsive to our needs and special requests especially in a tight spot. The job was finished neatly and on time. Thank you Twintech for your great service !

Great customer service. Responsive and professional. I would highly recommend Twintech, I used them previously for repair service and a new air conditioner- very satisfied.

by dianeramsden on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Our air conditioner failed. Made a call and within 15 min a technician was at our door.
The issue was fixed and many suggestions were provided.
Thanks to Mitch. Great service !

by Kazuko on Twintech Heating and Cooling

Our furnace was rattling, as soon as we put our air conditioner on this past week. We had researched looking for a company that was Registered with Better Business Bureau, and this company TwinTech, had A+ Rating. Scott, was immediately helpful via text/phone and sent his technician as soon as he was able...Mitchell/technician provided great professional service. Thank you TwinTech.

I contacted various companies when looking to install a new furnace and I found Twintech to be transparent with their communication and approach. They had options to suit my various requirements and the price vs quality was very good. The after installation communication was also very good and they answered all queries I had.

by Private User on Twintech Heating and Cooling

My furnace broke down last month. The team was quick to respond, courteous, professional and mindful of COVID-19 concerns. I highly recommend them if you are considering replacing or servicing your HVAC equipment.

I was very happy with the installation and price. I would definitely recommend. Thank you Twintech.

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. Their price was excellent and they explained the features very well. We are very glad we went with TwinTech and highly recommend their services.

by Robert Mizuno on Twintech Heating and Cooling

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!
