Called warranty company can't come out til tomorrow at noon. Gonna be chilly tonight. Have the fireplace full blast right now.

My heater turns on and blows air but it's not warm at all moreso room temp. Got home thermostat was on 63 and has dropped to 61 as the sun went down. Had heater running but thermastat never changed. Ac works fine tried it out to see. Any advice?

Turn your oven on and leave it cracked?

Not sure...saw it on a documentary once.

Gas or electric or heat pump?

If gas, pilot light or electric ignition?

Is it gas? Is your pilot light out? Is your stove gas? Water?

Unplug the blower unit and let it sit for 30 secs. Plug it back in and try to make it run by turning on the thermostat again. It seems like mine does that once a year and this is how I fix it.

It's electric but no hear pump (I don't think anyway as there is no emergency heat setting)

Sounds like the heat strips went bad, bundle up

If you think that's bad, just wait until Central Casting quits working.

Same exact thing happened to me earlier this winter. Was a blown switch or fuse on the actual heater in my attic. It's a cheap fix but sucks you don't have heat tonight. Think I had to pay about 150 for everything.

iPhones.

Yea I looked and there are no fuses in the heater. I think a board shorted out or the heat strips are bad. We pretty much hadn't ran it at all in 3-4 weeks.
