When I awakened this morning, my heat was running on low. Then when I turned it up to shower, it would run @ alllll. Do I have a faulty unit???? I wanted to ask before calling a Heating Company?? I'm single, and have to watch the "$"... This may sound silly, but I don't want to overreact; but right now my heat is not running @ allllll... IT IS BURRR here, and toooo late to call anyone... ...any suggestions--welcomed... :) THANKS!!

Is your pressure set at 1.5 bar ? check the front of boiler, if its dropped below 1 you ll get none or very little heat. It
May also need topped up with water, (refilling)
Your radiators may need bled.
Is your timer set right.?
Check above if you still cant resolve it call someone out.
Good Luck.!!!

I am a Heating Tech., without knowledge of heating you should consult a local contractor. Even if it is as simple as a defective thermocouple the thermocouple needs to be installed correctly. It could be a flame sensor needs cleaned or several other things could cause this, it is to dangerous to try to repair if your not sure what you are doing. If you can get a contractor weekdays during regular business hours you may save on labor cost. You may be surprised at how reasonable their cost is and know you are safe.

unfortunately, depending on the age of the furnace it could be thermocouple, which will only cost around 5 bucks, but you will be hard struck to find one around this time at night (1030 my time) only suggestion i might have would be a lot of blankets

If all you can tell us about your heater is that it is not working, then you'll never be able to do anything to fix it yourself anyway, so call a heating specialist and have it repaired.

is the pilot light still on? what kind of heater is it? is it a furnace with ducts all over the house or is it just a radiant heater? did the breaker for the furnace trip?
need a little more info about the furnace please.
