Gas Heater Furnace won't turn on

Boy it is getting colder in my house?


Thermostat control shows 70 degrees F, but the room temperature don't feel warm. Check the room temperature with a gauge, wow 60 degrees F. Open the hot water heater door and found the pilot light was out. So I managed to light the pilot light. Hmn, the room is still cold? Why?


It turn out I lit the water heater pilot light instead of the gas heater furnace.


There is no pilot light for gas heater furnace. I found the power box and turn off and on the power breaker for the gas heater furnace (which is 10B as indicated on the map), but still no fire.


I didn't give up and tried 1 more time. But, this time I flip the circuit breaker off and on for both 10A and 10B instead of 10B as my last try before I call for help. Voila, the furnace fan kicked on immediately, I waited 15-20 seconds and I saw 1" red beams started to show up in the dark furnace. I waited for another 15 seconds. Boom, all cylinders fired up and my furnace is fixed. UP AND RUNNING beautifully.


Get to pat myself for a job well done today!
