The heater in the woodshop is not heating. Can hear the gas but there is no heat. Any ideas on what to check next?
Any luck getting this going? I’m a former volunteer and I was checking up to see what’s going on in the space now days. I’m also an HVAC technician. If I remember correctly there may be some gas shut off valves within easy reach. Follow the gas line from the unit until you see a manual valve. Make sure it’s on. Turn the thermostat down, wait a couple seconds and turn it back up. That may reset it.If not I would be willing to swing by sometime to take a look and say Hi. Just let me know.

No luck on this so far @CBennett! If you would be available to drop by and take a peek this week, that would be lovely.
Ok, what are the open hours Thursday and Friday this week?
4-9pm Thursday and Friday
Previously we replaced the igniter element to get it working. I looked at it last night, and didn’t see any obvious cracks. I didn’t think to measure its resistance when I had it out.
When trying to light, the fan blows, but the igniter never starts to glow.
Now that I think about it, when it was broken previously it would try to light for a while, and give up, and then try again several minutes later. Last night the fan just blew continuously. Maybe the controller is bad.
In any case, I left the ladder out.
We’re also having issues with office heat if you want to take a quick look. Breaker is in closet next to bathrooms in front hallway
Ok, the ignitor would be the first thing I would check also. Sometimes they look good, checking resistance is the way to go. The office unit has had a new control board a couple years ago. I will swing by this morning sometime. I won’t have my Van so I would need a ladder to look at the office unit on the roof, not sure if the space has an extension ladder?
Any chance someone will be around before noon?
