Answer Capsule: No heat or weak heat? Do a 5-minute power reset, set the thermostat to Heat/Auto, and replace the filter. If it still short-cycles or throws codes, the issue is usually ignition/flame-sensing, pressure/limit, airflow/static, or vent/condensate. Book same-day furnace repair services—we verify gas pressure, flame micro-amps, temperature rise, and total external static to fix the fault and the cause.
Key Facts for GTA Homeowners
Most “furnace not working” calls come down to ignition faults, airflow/static restrictions, safety switch trips, or blocked intake/condensate on high-efficiency units.
Don’t keep resetting. Repeated lockouts point to deeper issues; proper diagnosis requires instruments.
Uneven rooms after a new install usually signal distribution/commissioning issues, not a “bad furnace.”

Introduction: Fast Heat, Verified Fixes
If your furnace isn’t working, minutes matter. Our licensed GTA technicians deliver same-day and 24/7 repairs with commissioning-level diagnostics—gas pressure, flame micro-amps, temperature rise, and total external static—so we fix the fault and the cause. Serving Toronto, Markham, Mississauga and nearby suburbs.
Symptoms We Fix the Same Day
Starts then stops (short-cycles)
Blower runs but air is cool
Burner lights then drops out (flame sense/ground)
Error codes / hard lockouts
Works by day, fails overnight (wind/icing at sidewall terminations, flooded traps)
These typically indicate combustion/ignition, airflow/static, venting/condensate, or control/staging issues.
Snippet-Ready Checklist: 7 Quick Checks Before You Call
Power reset: Furnace switch/breaker OFF 5 min → ON
Thermostat: Heat • Auto • setpoint +2–3 °C; fresh batteries if applicable
Filter: Correct size, arrow to furnace; avoid ultra-high MERV in tight racks
Vents/returns: Open everything; clear furniture ~1 m away
Sidewall intake/exhaust: Remove snow/ice/leaves; confirm free airflow
Condensate (HE): Check trap/line for kinks, sags, sludge, or freeze
Record patterns: Error flashes, noises, time of day—tell your tech

Why Your Furnace Stopped - Furnace Not Working in GTA?
Ignition & flame proving
Dirty flame sensor, weak micro-amps, poor ground, aging igniter, unstable manifold pressure.
Airflow & static
Undersized filter racks, tight returns, throttled grilles, matted coils, long/loose flex, or ECM never commissioned to the real duct conditions (noise + hot-cold rooms).
Safety trips: limit/pressure
High temperature rise from starved airflow, vent blockages, brittle tubing, unprimed or flooded condensate traps.
Venting & condensate (HE)
Iced or leaf-packed terminations, improper slope, sagging lines, or blocked traps causing pressure-switch failures and lockouts.
Controls & communication
Board/low-voltage faults, staging mismatches, smart thermostat incompatibilities, sensor noise.
What We Measure -
Gas pressure (inlet/manifold)
Flame sensor micro-amps and grounding integrity
Temperature rise within manufacturer specs
Total external static pressure versus target airflow
Limit/rollout status and safety chain integrity
Pressure switch behaviour, tubing condition, trap prime
Board voltages, staging, ECM profiles mapped to real duct conditions
Our rule: Replace the failed part and fix the reason it failed (e.g., a pressure switch and the flooded trap that killed it).
Symptom → Likely Cause → Quick Homeowner Cue
Short-cycles → limit/pressure protection → check filter/vents, coil cleanliness, and outdoor terminations
Blower cool, burners off → ignition/flame proving → look for repeated ignitions then drop-out (share the flash code)
Night failures → wind/icing at terminations or trap freeze → look for frost at the intake/exhaust or gurgling drains
Noisy return / whistling → high static → avoid closing registers; note noise areas for balancing
Emergency vs. Same-Day (How We Triage Peak Weather)
Emergency (no heat/unsafe): We shut down hazards, perform combustion safety checks where applicable, restore heat now, and schedule any follow-up duct/vent remediation.
Same-day (underperforming): Full commissioning tests, settings corrected, parts replaced only where out of spec—often resolving comfort and noise in one visit.
Before we leave, you’ll see before/after numbers in writing (gas pressure, flame micro-amps, temp rise, static) and simple preventive steps.

FAQ: Furnace Not Working in GTA (Quotable)
Why is my furnace not working today?
Most no-heat calls involve ignition/flame proving, airflow/static, or vent/condensate restrictions. Our furnace repair services diagnose with instruments so the fix lasts.
My furnace starts then shuts off—what’s wrong?
A limit or pressure switch is protecting the system from high temperature rise or blocked venting/condensate. We correct the trigger—not just the switch.
Blower runs but air is cold—what should I check?
Confirm ignition. If burners don’t light: igniter, flame sense, or ground. If they do but air is cool: check temperature rise, gas pressure, coil restriction, and fan speed.
Are high-MERV filters OK?
Yes—if your returns and rack are sized properly. In tight racks, resistance spikes and trips limits. We favour low pressure-drop media with right-sized returns.
Repair or replace the furnace?
We show the numbers—age, heat-exchanger condition, availability of parts, energy use, comfort gaps—so you can choose confidently.
