Hello, I've been busy lately looking for you and it seems that you really know how to hide
from people.
Hey there, I'm not hiding from anyone, but my wife. I actually came here to have a drink
alone and without her telling me how cute the puppy she found on our doorstep this morning
is.
That must be pretty nerve racking.
It is, especially when your daughter joins in and slaps your head for not being sensitive
enough.
Ouch! Anyway man, even if I'd really enjoy talking to you about this, I really want to
know why my furnace is not igniting.
OK, but the next round's on you.
Hit me grandpa!
Hehe, OK. So if you're running a gas furnace, then there are many possibilities. First of
all, it could be that the flame sensor for the intermittent pilot light has failed.
Would you look at that…
There are many possibilities, but because I'm not in your home to check your furnace,
I'll give you several of them. The next one is that your pilot orifice may be fouled or
blocked, so you'll need to check it out.
I will, please go on.
Now it could be that your glow bar igniter failed. This basically implies a sealed combustion
chamber, but if you don't know exactly what you're doing, you shouldn't mess around with
it.
I'm as savvy as a swimming brick, so you bet I won't do squat.
Check your flue and make sure it's cleaned. This is because the pressure sensor on the
induced draft system is either detecting a blockage or has basically failed.
Sure thing, I'll mention that to the professional I'll call.
Well, if these aren't the problem, then you're dealing with sticky gas valves, failed computer
chips and anything of the sort.
Now this was enlightening. Thanks for these tips Aiden and hopefully I'll get to fix this
soon.
Me too, be safe!
