Why is the heater in my house not blowing hot air?

Question

Hi! We rent a house in Dallas, Texas. Normally the problem we have is the heat! However, when I went to turn the heater on this morning...it would only blow cold air. I have tried turning it from "auto" to "on"....moving the heat up to 90 degrees and down to 60 degrees. I have left it alone for several hours to see if it would heat up..but nothing. Any ideas.

Answer 1

There is a good possibility your pilot light isn't lit

Answer 2

verify on your thermostat to work out no remember if that's switched in vehicle or instruction manual (or on). The instruction manual putting runs the fan each and all of the time. 2d theory is that in case you have a warmth pump, those will run and from time to time placed out enormously cool air from the warmth pump that keeps to be meant to be heating the domicile. some thermostats have a putting to flow to lower back up warmth provided that this bothers you. final suggestion if the 1st 2 do no longer restoration that's to call an HVAC tech to confirm your equipment, you have got a bad relay someplace.
