If you have gas heat, the pilot is probably out which means there is a gas leak and you are about to either become very sick or die. If you have an electric thermostat, your heat is broken and you need to call to get that fixed.
But before you do any of this, check to make sure that your air is turned to warm and that you are turning up the temprature on the thermostat higher than the apartment is heated too. Also, turn it on and let it sit for awhile without fiddlign with it. Heat takes longer to turn on, sometimes up to five mintues because the system has to warm up.

You actual do save with the aid of turning it down once you do not want it. each so often, in case you're making the situation severe, this is extra straightforward to visualise. think of being long previous for a week, and turning the warmth all the way down to 55F....once you come again, permit's say it takes 2 hours to warmth the homestead back up. If the warmth were left on 70F all that element, it could have run better than 2 hours to maintain that temp over that element. yet another element is that the insulation and homestead windows interior the homestead lose warmth speedier if the version between the interior and outdoors is larger. back, making it severe...if the outdoors and interior temps are precisely the comparable, there is 0 warmth loss. simply by fact the version turns into better, the value of warmth loss additionally turns into better. It takes extra power to maintain a temperature distinction of 60 tiers than a distinction of 45degrees. to function in yet one extra reason...in the adventure that your furnace does not would desire to instruct on and rancid as many times, it saves money simply by fact automobiles take one extra jolt of electrical energy just to start up. in the event that they don't would desire to start up as lots, they don't take as lots power. Furnaces do not "run harder" in the event that they run longer. They run on the comparable value, this is not like the gasoline pedal on a vehicle. Ya dinna can deny the guidelines O' physics...
