 This is usually a power or basic settings issue. Check in order .

 1. Chec"HEAT", the fan is set to "AUTO", and the set temperature is more than 5 degrees higher than the current room temperature.2. "Check the power supply": Check that the power switch to the heating furnace or system, usually on the side of the enclosure or on a nearby wall, is turned on. Then go to the electrical box at home to check if the circuit breaker of the heating circuit is tripped. 3. "Check the gas valve": If you are a gas heater, make sure the "gas valve" connected to the heater is open (open if the valve handle is parallel to the pipe).

 If all the above are correct but the system still won't start, it could be a “faulty thermostat, ignition, or control board issue” requiring a technician.

2.The heater is running (I can hear air), but the air isn't very hot and the room won't warm up. Why? 

 1. Dirty Air Filter: This is “the number one reason! A clogged filter can severely restrict airflow, causing overheating protection to kick in. "Please turn off the system immediately", locate the filter (usually in the heater or return air outlet), remove it for inspection and replace it. 2. "Vents are blocked": Check if all air outlets and return vents are obscured by furniture, carpets, or debris to ensure smooth airflow. 3. "Plumbing Issues": For older houses, "pipes may have cracks or unsealed", causing hot air to drain before reaching the room. You may feel that a certain room is particularly cold.

> If the problem persists after changing the filter, it may require **cleaning the heat exchanger, checking gas pressure, or inspecting for duct leaks . These need professional equipment.

 No. Different noises point to different issues 

 Thumping or rumbling: This can be caused by delayed ignition(deflagration after gas buildup) or damper problems. It needs to be inspected immediately, and there are potential safety hazards. Sharp squeak: Usually from fan motor bearings lack of oil or belt wear(if it is an older system). Constant Buzz: This could be a sign that the fan motor itself is about to fail. 

1. Check the Basics First:

· Thermostat Settings: Make sure it's set to **"COOL" mode, not "HEAT" or "FAN," and the temperature is set lower than the current room temperature.

· Air Filter：This is the most common issue in older NYC apartments! Locate the filter at your furnace or return air vent. A filter clogged with dust severely blocks airflow. Check monthly and replace it if it's dirty.

· Power & Circuit Breaker: Ensure the unit is plugged in. Check your home's electrical panel to see if the circuit breaker for the AC has tripped. If it has, reset it.

2. Then, Inspect the Outdoor Unit:

· Go outside and look at the condenser unit (the large metal box with a fan). re the fins blocked by leaves, weeds, or dirt? If yes, carefully clean them with a soft brush or hose from the inside out (always turn off power first!).

· Listen to see if the fan is running and if the unit is making its normal operating sound.

When Should You Definitely Call a Professional?

If there's still no cool air after these checks, or if you notice:

· “Ice“forming on the indoor unit or refrigerant lines.

· Strange grinding or loud noises.

· Air is blowing but is not cold at all.

This could indicate a refrigerant leak, compressor failure, or other major component issue that requires diagnosis and repair by a licensed NYC HVAC technician.
