What Are Common Reasons My Heater Is Not Working in My House?

Most heat failures come from simple issues: thermostat missettings, a dirty filter, or a tripped breaker. Other common causes include failed igniters or sensors on furnaces, low boiler pressure, clogged condensate drains that trip safety switches, loose electrical connections, or refrigerant/defrost problems on heat pumps. We handle diagnostics like thermostat calibration, electrical checks, combustion and pressure tests, leak detection, and filter/coil cleaning across La Porte and Michigan City systems. 24/7 emergency service is available.

  • Quick checks: set thermostat to Heat, replace filter, verify breakers, clear debris from outdoor unit.
