How Do You Reset a Furnace?

November 11, 2022

Many homeowners don't realize how important it is to know how to reset a furnace; however, doing so is necessary whether you have a gas or electric furnace. A red or yellow reset button is typically found inside the blower housing next to the blower motor, located near the top of the unit, on many electric furnaces.

The best action is to shut off the circuit breaker that regulates it, then restart power to the furnace by turning the breaker back on if you can't quickly locate the reset button or consult your owner's manual for assistance. You ought to warm up quickly, and the furnace should start independently.

If you have an older gas furnace that utilizes one, check to see if the pilot light is out. If this is the case, check your owner's manual for instructions on relighting it while ensuring there isn't any gas in the area. Call the gas company immediately and get out of the area if you smell gas. For newer gas furnaces, a straightforward circuit breaker reset should work.

Filter or pilot light issues are the root of many gas furnace issues. Most newer furnaces have an automatic ignition that either eliminates the pilot light entirely or makes it simple to relight a pilot flame. Working with a licensed team of professionals can help ensure issues are pinpointed as soon as possible and fixed before they become even more expensive.
