Start Here
If your furnace is on but the house still feels chilly, check the thermostat first. Make sure it is set to Heat, the temperature is set above the current room temperature, and the fan is on Auto instead of On. It sounds simple, but these settings solve a lot of “my furnace is broken” calls.
Next, look at the furnace switch near the unit and the breaker panel. A tripped breaker or an accidentally flipped switch can stop heat without any bigger issue.
Check The Basics
Replace the air filter if it looks dirty. A clogged filter can restrict airflow and make the furnace overheat or short cycle. In Colorado Springs, dusty air and long heating seasons can make filters load up faster than people expect.
Also take a look at vents and returns. Furniture, rugs, or closed registers can keep heated air from moving properly. If some rooms are warm and others are not, airflow may be part of the problem.
If you hear the furnace trying to start but it shuts off quickly, makes repeated clicking, or blows cool air, stop resetting it over and over. Repeated restarting can make the issue harder to diagnose.
When To Call
Call for furnace repair if you smell burning that does not go away, notice unusual noises, or the furnace will not stay on. You should also reach out if the same problem keeps coming back after a filter change and thermostat check.
