Carrier furnaces are chosen for their dependability and stability. A new appliance is able to serve long before the first issues take place. The owners need to be prepared that like other units, their system won't turn on one day. Here is what you can do!
Check that the fan switch is turned to the “on” or “auto” setting. If it’s on “auto,” switch it to “on.” If the furnace fan does not start running after several minutes, you may have an issue with the thermostat, the furnace controls, or you may not have power to the furnace.
Check the circuit breaker or fuse box to ensure the furnace is getting power and hasn’t tripped a circuit breaker.
Check the pilot light if you are using an older furnace. If the pilot has gone out, follow your owner’s manual for further instructions.
Check to ensure that the gas supply is still on. Locate the gas cutoff valve near your furnace. The handle on the gas valve should parallel to the gas line. However, if you suspect a gas leak or smell gas in your home, do not turn any switches on or off, and do not attempt to relight the pilot light. Get out of your house immediately and call the gas company to come check it.
These are the most common furnace problems your Carrier furnace might be suffering from. If you have done all the steps above but the unit does not resspond, it is better to contact a Pro.
