Check the Thermostat
Make certain to check your thermostat: Be sure the thermostat is in the open position for heat. It must be set higher then the room temperature by at least 5 degrees.

Check the Furnace Blower Door
Check your furnace blower door: Your furnace blower door has a safety switch. If the door is not installed correctly all of the power to the furnace is disabled.

Check the Pilot Light
Is the Pilot Light Lit? Check to make certain that your furnaces pilot light is lit. The flame should range from ˝ to 1 ˝ inches with up to 3 separate flames. If the light is out try re-lighting it or contact Magnolia for service.

Change Filters
You should change your furnace blower's filter once a month. Most blowers are also utilized by your air conditioning unit; therefore you should change the filter monthly year-round.

Uneven Room Temperatures
Are you suffering from uneven room temperatures? Try shutting down the vents in the closets and bathrooms, to force the air to rooms that require more heat. Heat rises, if the downstairs rooms are cold close vents upstairs ˝ or all the way as may be needed to balance the temperature. If you're still having issues, your homes duct system could be inadequate. Have a certified Magnolia Service Technician do an inspection.

Spacing in front of Vents
