Hi, I am renting a house that has a 3 year (ish) old Lennox SL280UHV gas furnace that sometimes works and sometimes doesn't. I am the third renter so I have no idea if any maintenance has been done on it (and I highly doubt it has). My landlord/property manager creeps me out and I'm a single woman so I"m hoping someone can help me. Is there something simple I can try to do before calling this guy? OH yeah....he lives across the street so I can't just call in a company and pay for them to service the furnace. :vs_no_no_no:
Honeywell thermostat is working fine and wires are secure.
Furnace tries to light 3 times in the morning (I can hear it in crawl space) and then won't go on. The interesting thing is that sometimes I can get it to start by turning off the circuit breaker, wait about 10 minutes or so, and then flick it back on and the furnace starts up. But sometimes it won't.
OR it's not working in the morning and then I come home from work and then it is. Any ideas that I can easily try? I'm pretty handy but don't have tools such as a voltage meter or such.
I live in Colorado. Thanks in advance! It's supposed to snow this weekend so a quick answer(s) is GREATLY appreciated!
