    When we say it’s cold here, we mean it’s COLD. Scarves and gloves are no match for some of our brutal winters. If you’re old enough to remember that -26-degree February day back in 1996, you are probably old enough to understand why a well-working heating system is incredibly valuable to those of us in the Greater Milwaukee area, about our sometimes-hefty heating bills each snowy season.

    One of the most common reasons a gas furnace won’t start is a dirty or defective pilot light. Many homeowners will trust this problem to a specialist, but if you have mechanical knowledge, you may be able to remedy the problem yourself.

    Also, if your furnace isn’t starting, it might be due to a lack of fuel. Simply make sure the gas control valve is in the “On” position.


    Filters that are clogged are the most typical source of furnace troubles. Dust and grime obstruct airflow and if the filter becomes too clogged, the heat exchanger overheats and shuts down too rapidly, preventing your home from warming up. Replace the filter if the blower is operating but no heat is going out. A clogged filter also causes soot accumulation on the heat exchanger, lowering the furnace’s efficiency and shortening its life.


    Your furnace should be inspected at least once a year to verify that it is in good working order. In fact, furnace manufacturers recommend yearly inspections as well as professional maintenance. Furthermore, their guaranteed terms are explicit regarding harm caused by incorrect maintenance.
