| Posted By: Cinealta Draiodoir Posted On: Dec 18, 2007 Views: 574 | odd question... here's a question. It's a bit odd but I don't give a ****, it's cold as ****. Anybody know how to fix a floor furnace that won't come on? It's 15 bloody degrees here. My nuts almost froze off when I got out of the shower. The pilot is on, it's got gas, and the safety switch is fine. |

| Posted By: paul Posted On: Dec 18, 2007 Views: 547 | RE: odd question... leave the gas running overnight, then in the morning try using a lighter, either the pilot is too weak or the gas pipe is clogged. if that doesn't work the ventilation in the furnace is the problem, poke some holes in it with a screwdriver |
| Posted By: Cinealta Draiodoir Posted On: Dec 18, 2007 Views: 545 | RE: odd question... LOL anyway, I fixed it. Sorry to bother you people. Gas line was really gunked up. Still had the old cast iron? I switched to a flex hose I got at Lowes. It started right back up. |
| Posted By: tedd Posted On: Dec 19, 2007 Views: 530 | RE: odd question... I have a floor heater too, but mine is pretty new and uses a heated element to ignite the gas instead of a flame. Problem with mine is it never heats the place up enough even when I set it to 80+ degrees. There's air coming out but it doesn't feel very warm... my gas bill is still super high, so I wonder what's happening with all the gas. Worked fine last year. |
