Flame catches, then dies within seconds. A dusty sensor rod is the usual reason.

Is your furnace problem an emergency?
A furnace not working on a cold night always feels urgent. Some situations truly are. Others may be able to wait until morning. If you're not sure, treat it as urgent. Here's how to tell.
| What's happening | What to do | Why |
|---|---|---|
| Gas smell or CO alarm | Get out, call 911 | Your safety comes before the furnace |
| No heat with a baby, an older adult or someone sick at home | Call now | Cold hits them hardest and fastest |
| No heat and the house is dropping below the low 60s | Call now | Nights in the Pass get cold quickly |
| Burning plastic or electrical smell | Turn it off, call | Possible overheating wire or motor |
| Furnace runs, but some rooms are cold | Can wait for morning | Usually airflow or ductwork |
| Burnt-dust smell the first night you run it | Usually fine | Fades within the hour |

Safety first
When to call 911 or SoCalGas before furnace repair
If there is danger, such as a gas smell or a CO alarm, the right first call is 911, not us.
| What's happening | Call first | Then |
|---|---|---|
| Gas smell or hissing | 911 and SoCalGas, from outside | Call us only after responders say it's safe |
| CO alarm, or headache, dizziness and nausea | 911, get outside | Stay out until it's cleared |
| Smoke, fire or sparks | 911 | Turn off the furnace at the breaker only if it's safe to reach |
| Burning-plastic smell or a hot electrical panel | Leave the furnace off | If you see smoke, call 911, then call us |
| Just no heat | Call us or any heating company | Availability, including after hours, depends on our schedule |
Not sure which row fits? Pick the safer one. A heating problem can wait a few minutes. A gas leak or carbon monoxide can't.
Before you call
Five-minute furnace checks while you wait
Some no-heat calls get solved before anyone comes out. Try these quick checks while you wait on hold or for a call back.
If none of them work, you've lost nothing. If your furnace stopped working overnight, run through these checks before you call for emergency heating help.
Does your furnace have a reset button? Some do. Press it once and only once. If it shuts down again, something is making it trip, so stop there.
- Thermostat screenBlank screen at night? Swap the batteries, then set HEAT about 5 degrees above the room.
- Service switchSomeone may have bumped the light-style switch by the furnace. Flip it on.
- PanelUse a flashlight. A tripped breaker sits in the middle position.
- FilterCan't see light through it? Swap it out.
- Furnace doorIt has to be fully closed or the furnace won't run.
- Blinking lightCount the blinks through the small window. Tell the pro.
Common causes
What usually causes a no-heat night?
Most late-night no-heat calls come down to a few parts. Knowing the likely one helps you describe it on the phone.
In the San Gorgonio Pass, cold nights and gusty wind make some of these more common. Blowing cold air instead of no air at all?
This guide on why a furnace blows cold air in Beaumont walks through it.
Ignitor
No glow at start-up means no flame. A hairline crack is enough to stop it.
Pressure switch
Strong gusts through the Pass can push back on the vent and stop the furnace.
Blower motor
The flame runs, but no warm air comes out. Often a failed capacitor or motor.
Control board
Blinking codes, or nothing at all. Power surges can knock it out.
Gas valve or pilot light
No gas reaches the burners, or an older pilot light won't stay lit.
These short cycling and no-start patterns are covered in more depth on our ignition repair and blower motor repair pages. Some, like a cracked heat exchanger, are safety problems that need the furnace off until it's checked.
Out toward Cherry Valley and Banning, homes sit higher and catch stronger gusts, so pressure switch trips show up more often there. On the older streets off 6th Street downtown, a pilot light that won't stay lit is the usual call.
While you wait
How to stay warm safely while you wait for furnace repair
A cold night with the heater not working is uncomfortable. A space heater fire or carbon monoxide is far worse.
According to the NFPA, space heaters are behind most deadly home heating fires. Use these rules tonight.
Pick one room
Close doors, hang blankets over drafty windows and gather everyone in one room.
Space heater rules
Plug it straight into the wall, not a power strip. Keep it 3 feet from beds, curtains and kids.
Never heat with these
No ovens, grills, camp stoves or generators indoors. They make carbon monoxide.
Layer up
Hats, socks and extra blankets keep in more heat than you'd think.
Check on others
Older neighbors and family living alone feel the cold first.
Test your CO alarm
Press the test button tonight, especially if you're using gas appliances.
- Home heating fires started by space heaters2 in 5+NFPA
The NFPA counts about 48,530 home heating fires a year in the U.S., with about 500 deaths. Space heaters cause more than two in five of them and most of the deaths.
Carbon monoxide adds more than 400 deaths a year. A cold room is miserable. A fire or a CO leak is far worse.
While you wait
What not to do when your furnace has no heat
A cold house makes people try risky things. These are the common ones to skip.
| Don't do this | Why |
|---|---|
| Reset the furnace again and again | It can hide a safety problem. One reset is the limit. |
| Run the oven or stove for heat | Both can give off carbon monoxide and start fires. |
| Use a generator, grill or camp stove indoors | They release carbon monoxide. Keep them outside, away from windows. |
| Try to relight a furnace after a gas smell or CO alarm | Wait until a pro says it's safe. |
| Block the furnace vents or flue | Exhaust needs a clear path out of the house. |
Renters
Renting with no heat? Tell your landlord now
In California, landlords must keep heating in good working order as part of keeping a home livable. If you rent, report the problem right away, and follow up in writing with a text or email that shows the date and time.
Can you call a heating pro yourself? Check your lease first. Many leases say the landlord picks the repair company. If you can't reach them on a freezing night, keep a record of every attempt.
Write these down for your landlord
- When did the heat stop?
- What does the furnace do: click, hum, blink or nothing?
- What did you already try?
- What's the indoor temperature now?
Clear notes help a landlord or a heating pro move faster.
Straight talk
What we can and can't promise on emergency furnace repair
When you call, we tell you what we can do and how soon. Whether someone can come tonight depends on our schedule.
We won't promise an arrival time we can't control. Once the heat is back, a fall furnace tune-up helps you avoid a repeat, and the diagnostics page explains what a full check covers.
Worried about after-hours charges? That's fair. Ask your technician how night and weekend visits are billed before any work starts. You can also ask if the fix can safely wait until morning.
Tight month? Two local programs may help income-qualified households: SoCalGas's Energy Savings Assistance program and Community Action Partnership of Riverside County.
Both handle heating repairs for people who qualify. Call them during business hours.
Quick call
What to tell us on an emergency furnace repair call
A no-heat night is stressful. These five facts help us decide how fast to move, and what to bring.
- How long the heat has been outAnd how cold the house is now, if you have a thermometer.
- Who is homeBabies, older adults, pets, or anyone with a health condition.
- Any smell, noise or alarmGas smell or a CO alarm means 911 first.
- The blink codeCount the flashes on the light inside the furnace door.
- Your fuel typeGas, propane or electric.
Emergency availability depends on our schedule, so a fast answer isn't something we can promise.
FAQ
No-heat emergency furnace repair FAQs
What counts as a furnace emergency?
A gas smell, a carbon monoxide alarm, or a burning or electrical smell. No heat also counts when someone at home is very young, elderly or sick, or when the house is dropping fast on a cold night.
A single cold room or a dusty smell on the first day of the season can usually wait until morning.
What should I do if my carbon monoxide alarm goes off?
Get everyone outside right away, pets too. Call 911 from outside, and don't go back in until responders say it's safe.
Carbon monoxide has no smell or color, so treat every alarm as real. Then have the furnace and any gas appliances checked before you use them again, even if the alarm stopped on its own.
Is it safe to use a space heater when my furnace is out?
Yes, if you follow the rules. Plug it straight into a wall outlet, never a power strip.
Keep it 3 feet from beds, curtains and kids, and turn it off when you leave the room or go to sleep. Never heat your home with an oven, grill, camp stove or generator, since they make carbon monoxide.
Can someone come out tonight?
Sometimes. Call and we'll tell you what we can do tonight.
Whether someone can come tonight depends on our schedule. Night and weekend availability depends on our schedule, so we can't promise an arrival time.
Ask your technician how after-hours visits are billed, and whether the fix can safely wait until morning.
What if my landlord won't fix the heat?
Report it right away, then follow up in writing. California requires landlords to keep heating in good working order as part of a livable home.
Keep a record of every call, text and email with dates and times. If it still isn't fixed, contact your city's code enforcement office or a local tenant rights group for next steps.
Is there help paying for an emergency furnace repair?
Possibly, if you qualify by income. SoCalGas's Energy Savings Assistance program and Community Action Partnership of Riverside County both help qualified households with heating repairs.
Neither one will send someone tonight, so stay warm safely first. Then call them during business hours to ask about eligibility and what paperwork they need from you.
Should I keep resetting my furnace to get heat?
No. Press the reset button once at most. If the furnace shuts down again, a safety control is doing its job.
Resetting it over and over can overheat parts or hide a dangerous problem like a blocked vent. Turn it off, write down any blinking code you see, and call so a pro can find the cause.
