Good Morning Everyone!
My furnace had been working fine. I had my gas HWH changed out (by a licensed plumber) 3 days ago. Up until the storm, I had the furnace turned off because it was warmer. This morning it was cold in the house. When I turned the thermostat up, I realized the boiler isn't working. (Yes, the "heat" switch on the thermostat is on)
Upon inspection and taking the cover off the furnace, I noticed the pilot light isn't lit. I tried light it but it won't light. Yes, the switch is in the "on" position and all the gas valves are on. The PSI guage on the furnace is at 17 and the temp on the furnace is below 70.

Any suggestions?

Thanking you in advance.

If its a pilot system. then you have to turn the gas valve to pilot, hold it down and then lite it. Good chance air got into the line, so it may take a little while for the pilot to light.
