What to do first
Set the thermostat to heat and a few degrees above room temperature, check the power switch, breaker and filter, and make sure the gas valve or fuel supply is on. If the heater still doesn't produce heat, keep warm safely (never use an oven or grill for heat) and talk to a local heating pro who serves your area.

Frequently asked questions
How do I find heater repair near me?
Call the number on this page. LocalRepairLine connects local homeowners with independent local heating contractors. We are a referral service and you decide whether to hire.
My heater is on but the house is cold. Why?
Typical causes are a clogged filter, a failed igniter or blower, closed vents or a thermostat problem. A heating pro can test each one.
What should I do if I smell gas?
Leave the house, avoid switches and phones inside, and call your gas utility's emergency line from outside before using the heater again.
How often should a heater be serviced?
Once a year before the cold season is common advice. A check catches worn parts before they fail on a cold night.
Do you repair heaters yourselves?
No. Independent contractors in your area do the work and set their own pricing after seeing the job. LocalRepairLine is a referral service.
