Most furnace repair work comes down to a short list of parts. Knowing the names helps you follow what the contractor tells you.
This small element glows to light the gas. It cracks with age. When it fails, you hear the furnace start but the burners never catch.
A thin metal rod that proves the flame is lit. Dust coats it over time, and the furnace shuts the gas off a few seconds after lighting. It is one of the most common winter calls.
The inducer pushes exhaust out of the house. The pressure switch checks that the venting is clear before the furnace will fire. A weak motor, a cracked hose or a blocked vent stops everything.
The limit switch shuts the burners off when the furnace runs too hot, often because of a clogged filter. The blower motor and its capacitor move the warm air. The control board runs the whole sequence and flashes a code when something is wrong.
Contractors here work on all the common brands, including Carrier, Trane, Lennox, Goodman, Rheem and Amana.
1.
Set the thermostat to Heat and a few degrees above room temperature. Replace the batteries if the screen is blank.
2.
Find the furnace power switch. It looks like a light switch on or near the furnace. Make sure it is on.
3.
Check the breaker panel for a tripped furnace breaker.
4.
Pull the filter. If it is gray and packed, replace it.
5.
Make sure the front panel on the furnace is pushed fully closed. A loose panel keeps the furnace off.
6.
Outside, check that snow or ice is not blocking the two plastic vent pipes on the side of the house.
7.
Look through the small window on the furnace and write down any blinking light pattern.
Stop there. Do not open the gas valve, take parts out or bypass a switch. Those checks are for the contractor.
Still no heat after these checks: (303) 647‑3227No heat on a night in the teens is urgent. Pipes on outside walls can freeze, and older family members and pets get cold fast. You can call any time, including nights, weekends and holidays. The contractor will tell you when they can come out. See emergency HVAC repair for more.
Safety first
If you smell gas or your carbon monoxide alarm goes off, leave the house first. From outside, call Xcel Energy's gas emergency line or 911. Call us only after everyone is safe.
Most furnaces last 15 to 20 years. Past that, or after several repairs in a few winters, it makes sense to ask about both options on the same visit. A cracked heat exchanger is a safety problem and usually means replacement.
A new furnace may be an 80% AFUE model or a 96% high-efficiency model, and the right choice depends on your venting. Colorado air quality rules also affect which gas furnaces can be installed, so ask how they apply to your home. Read more on furnace replacement.

If a visit makes sense, you set the time with them directly.
Have the brand and model ready. It is on a sticker inside the furnace door. The age of the furnace and any blinking code help too. HVAC Parker CO does not do the work or set prices. The contractor handles the visit, the diagnosis and the bill.
Many homes in Stonegate, Stroh Ranch, Meridian and The Pinery have the furnace in a finished basement with tight access. Larger homes often run two systems. Dry Colorado air and long run times from November to February are hard on ignitors, flame sensors and blower motors.
High-efficiency furnaces vent through plastic pipes in a side wall. After a windy snowstorm, a drift can block them and the furnace shuts itself off. If the furnace will not start at all, see furnace not turning on. If it is not the furnace, heating repair covers heat pumps and boilers.
Talk to a furnace contractor: (303) 647‑3227It depends on the part, the brand, how easy the furnace is to reach and the time of the visit. Cleaning a flame sensor and replacing a control board are very different jobs. The contractor sets the price and can talk it through before any work starts.
In Parker, a dirty flame sensor and a cracked hot surface ignitor are two of the most common winter calls. Clogged filters that trip the limit switch are close behind.
Often, yes, if the repair is a single part and the heat exchanger is sound. If it has needed several repairs or the heat exchanger is cracked, ask the contractor to compare repair and replacement.
You can turn the power switch off for 30 seconds and back on. If it locks out again, do not keep resetting it. Write down the blinking code and call.
