I'm sorry if I'm doing this wrong, I just came across this site and and looking for help. My fingers are frozen and I need somebody please
You might have a gas meter outside. Please call the landlord if pipes freeze BIG BIG problems!! You tube videos might be helpful?? (Steven Lav youtube) What area are you in?? I'm in central Fl and @ 53* outside very cold.I know I wanted just to call them but they are really nice couple and if I didn't have to bother them I wasn't going to.
We're thinking it's the not lit.
How do I check to see if it lit?
How can I see if the gas is turned on?
To post a video or pics you need to have more post- I don't know how many, but make more post- Let people know what area-may be someone close?? Also check out HVAC-TALK.COM - DIY not allowed but someone may be close to you??Can anyone call me and help pls I can't type my hands are numb if you can private message me and I'll reply with my phone number
I was trying to post a video and I can't figure out how to attach it I recorded the full furnace viewing everything and from turning it on showing you the sounds it was making
Call them; you got a new rental without heat, they legally have to deal with it - part of the job of being a landlord, it's not rude.I know I wanted just to call them but they are really nice couple and if I didn't have to bother them I wasn't going to.

Can you call meI would first check to see if the furnace lights up, if so then it's the thermostat. If you don't hear the clicking noise and the burners start, then it's the igniter.

To check for gas see if the water heater is working; turn up the temp, see if it fires up.
Typically there's an observation window for newer goodman plastic vent piped furnaces, or for 80% ers you can look through the grill at the front, observe what's going on.
If you hear sparking or see the orange glow of an ignitor with no ignition, the furnace may have no gas.
You can also check the valve at the meter:

If it's off and locked or pinned, possible that the previous tenant wasn't paying the bill or the account was abandoned.
My inane question is: Did you set up the account with the utility? (assuming the landlord isn't paying for gas.
I am sorry but I know very little about gas heat /Fl mostly electric heat. Get post count up to send pics etc & then you will need to go to. (Go Advance) Another idea look @ other post to find someone in your area. Still some good people in the world- If you were within 20 miles of me I would come & fix for free-if I knew about gas. Another idea www.goodmanmfg.comI'm in Metro Detroit Michigan, its 1:38 a.m., and about 12 degrees outside. I can't call any local contractors it's too late. Also I can't afford it. I will call my new landlord if I have to but she is a very nice woman and if I can resolve this I would like to do. If I can't get a call to help me with these steps I will just go to the hotel
