Tips to Reset The Furnace System

It’s chilly outdoors, and many of you may have issues with your heating systems. You don’t need to call a professional if your furnace isn’t working – at least not yet. The reset button on a furnace is used to turn it off before it trips your circuit breaker. If the stove grows too hot or the electrical system is disrupted somehow, the reset button may be required. Press the reset button down again to get the furnace running again.

However, if you click the reset button and your furnace shuts off again, clicking it again may cause harm to your furnace. If your furnace continues to shut off despite pressing the reset button, it’s time to contact a professional HVAC technician for heating service in Mesa, AZ

Many things can cause the reset button on a furnace to activate. 

These Can Include The Following:

  • Fuel shortfall: A fuel shortage will necessitate a refill. Check for a leak to check whether the fuel loss is caused by one.
  • Closed gas valves: Checking to see if any valves have been accidentally closed could assist in addressing the problem.
  • Overheating: If a furnace does not get enough ventilation, it will overheat and trip the reset button. Keep the air vents open to let the air flow properly.
  • Dirty flame sensor: The furnace will shut down if the flame sensor rod is contaminated with particles. You can avoid this by wiping the flame sensor rod clean regularly.
  • Dirty air filter: Regularly changing or cleaning your HVAC air filter will help keep your furnace in good working order and lessen its load.

How to Restart a Gas Furnace?

If you have a gas furnace, each method below can assist you in resetting it. If you still can’t get the furnace to reset after trying these methods, turn it off and call a professional for furnace repair in Mesa, AZ.

  • Examine your pilot light to determine if it has gone out.
  • Reduce the temperature of your home to the lowest setting possible.
  • Turn off the furnace’s power.
  • Turn off the furnace’s main gas supply. Make that the pilot gas supply line is turned on.
  • Hold a match to the aperture of the pilot flame jet, which is located inside the furnace. The pilot flame should relight as a result of this.
  • Reconnect the power, then the main gas supply.
  • For roughly 30 seconds, press and hold the reset button.
  • Increase the temperature on your thermostat to the appropriate level. 
  • Your furnace should light up as a result of this. If there isn’t any ignition, it’s time to call a pro.
