Quick Answer
If your furnace won’t turn on in Colliers, start by checking the thermostat, air filter, power switch, and furnace door. Most “no-heat” calls in this quiet Brooke County town come down to simple fixes—especially after brief power drops common near Colliers Way and the Elders Run Valley.
Start with Thermostat and Power Checks
Homes along Eldersville Road and the wooded hills near Hooverson Heights often experience flickers and voltage dips that can reset thermostats. Make sure yours is set to Heat and turn it up at least five degrees above the room temperature. Replace the batteries if it’s a battery-powered model.
Then locate the furnace switch—a small light switch on or near the unit—and make sure it’s on. Check your electrical panel too. If the furnace breaker tripped, reset it once. If it trips again, stop; that points to a blower or wiring issue that needs a technician.
Filter and Door Fixes Can Get the Heat Back On
A clogged filter restricts airflow and can overheat your furnace, causing it to shut off for safety. Hold the filter to the light—if it’s opaque, replace it. Homes near the Elders Run Valley tend to collect more dust and moisture, so filters may need changing every two months.
Also, confirm the furnace door is fully closed; even a small gap keeps the safety switch from engaging. Still nothing? The limit switch may need a reset during Honest Fix’s $89 diagnostic, and your LEO the Lion magnet saves $25 off that visit and every one after.
