When this becomes an emergency

Turning the thermostat up produces no sound anywhere in the house.
The system was running this morning and is completely silent now.
The tank gauge is on empty or the propane regulator has iced over.
Power came back after an outage and the heat never restarted with it.

What a pro does

The order of checks matters more than any single one. Power and fuel account for the majority of outright no-heat calls, and both are quick to confirm: the disconnect switch, the breaker, the tank level, and whether an outage left the equipment locked out on restart. Where a generator carried the house through a storm, an ignition control fed on rough power sometimes needs resetting before it will run again. From there the sequence runs to the thermostat circuit, then the safety chain, since limits, low-water cutoffs, and pressure switches are designed to stop a system and frequently have. The reason a safety opened is the actual repair. Resetting it is only the last step, and it doesn't mean much on its own.

Frequently asked questions

Why won't the heat restart after a power outage?

Some controls latch out after abnormal power and need a manual reset, and a generator's less-than-clean output can be enough to put a sensitive ignition board into that state.

Can a propane regulator freeze up?

It can in the right conditions, particularly with heavy draw in extreme cold and moisture in the system, and the equipment then behaves exactly as though the tank were empty.

Should a safety switch just be reset?

Resetting it once tells you something. If it opens again, it's reporting a real condition, and finding what triggered it is the repair rather than the reset itself.

How long can a house go before pipes are at risk?

It depends on how tight the house is and how cold it is outside, but an older place in serious cold can put exposed plumbing in trouble well before a full day has passed.
