- Clogged or blocked air ducts
- Dead or dying blower capacitor

- Dirty drain lines
- Poorly installed ductwork
- Dirty filters
- Pilot ignitor broken or clogged
- Power supply or gas – make sure the gas is on and the circuit breaker hasn’t tripped
- Refrigerant levels
- Thermostat or thermostat batteries
There are several reasons why some rooms have little or no heat and others do:
- Age of the unit
- Air filters are dirty
- Air duct leak
- Slow fan speed
- Kinks in the ductwork
- Wrong size unit
- Insulation problems
- Closed or blocked air vents
- Open windows or shades
There are several troubleshooting steps you can take if you have little or no heat throughout the house:

- Clean your outside HVAC system if it’s dirty
- Ensure the furnace switch is on heat setting
- Inspect your circuit breakers and power supplies to your furnace or HVAC
- Look at the furnace safety switch. If it’s off, your local heating repair professional will check several factors before turning it back on
