Any HVAC techs on the board?

[jason]

Got up Saturday morning and the downstairs was cooooold...no heat

. According to the thermostat, the heat is on. I can hear the unit running but there is no airflow out of the vents. I switched over to AC and it works fine. It is a gas unit so I'm assuming the problem has something to do with the pilot light or some sort of fan relay tied to it

. </p>

Anyone have any experience with gas units?</p>

Jason, mine (a Carrier unit) did the same thing a few years ago...had to have a new switch/solenoid or something to that effect installed as the pilot light was not staying lit. I had just bought my house so it was covered by warranty...so the warranty company sent someone out.

Thanks for the tip, DHaun. Mine is only about 4 years-old and likely under warranty, however, I'd rather not deal with the bunch who installed it

. I'm going to open the unit up tomorrow and see what I can figure out with a volt-meter and the manual.

It could be your gas valve or your pilot assembly.  It ain't firing and probably what you are hearing is your power vent motor running....just a thought...  <font color="#ff0033">Try this,,, turn off your unit at the thermos stat,  let it stay off for a minute or two then turn unit back on and run the t-stat up to about 90 and see if it will re-light...it takes a few minutes so don't get impatient... if that don't work call jess.</font></p>
