If your furnace in Brilliant is blowing cold air, first set it to HEAT and the fan to AUTO. Replace any dirty air filter and reset tripped breakers. If it still won’t produce warm air, you may have a faulty ignitor, clogged flame sensor, or duct leak—issues best repaired by Honest Fix Heating, Cooling & Plumbing.
Brilliant’s riverside neighborhoods, including Market Street, Third Avenue, and the hill homes near La Belle View, face unique heating challenges. The Ohio River brings damp air that can cause corrosion inside furnaces and metal ductwork. Many older houses have low crawlspaces or unfinished basements that make maintenance tricky. When a furnace starts pushing cold air instead of heat, the problem can spread fast through small duct systems.
Confirm your thermostat is set to HEAT and that the fan mode is AUTO, not ON. A dusty or clogged air filter can overheat the furnace and cause safety shutdowns, letting only cool air through. Flip the furnace switch and reset any tripped breakers. In many Brilliant homes, especially those with older electrical panels, this simple step restores full operation.
If the air still blows cold, the ignition system might not be firing correctly. Worn ignitors, corroded sensors, or low gas pressure are common culprits. In Brilliant’s older riverfront houses, loose or rusted duct joints often send heated air into crawlspaces instead of living areas. Honest Fix technicians frequently uncover these hidden leaks and restore full heating efficiency the same day.
Honest Fix’s NATE-certified technicians handle all ignition, airflow, and safety system diagnostics with precision. Each repair includes a 5-year labor warranty, no overtime charge, and flat-rate pricing. From downtown Brilliant to the hillside streets overlooking the river, families rely on Honest Fix for reliable heat and clear, honest communication.
If your system cycles but never warms up, the ignitor or flame sensor may be failing. Switch the fan to AUTO; if it stays cool, schedule a diagnostic.
Yes. Moist air from the Ohio River can corrode burners and sensors, especially in low basements. Yearly service helps prevent ignition issues.
