No heat in South Findlay (Findlay, OH)

Furnace not firing, blowing cold air, or thermostat not responding. In NW Ohio winters this is a same-day call — for renters it's a habitability issue under Ohio law.

Step-by-step response

  1. 1
    Check the thermostat

    Display blank? Replace batteries (most use 2× AA). Display on but not calling for heat? Bump setpoint 5°F above current temp and listen for the furnace to kick.

  2. 2
    Check the breaker

    Look at your electrical panel for a tripped breaker labeled 'Furnace' or 'HVAC'. Reset by flipping fully off then back on.

  3. 3
    Check the gas

    Stove burner light? If yes, gas is on. If no — and Columbia Gas isn't reporting an outage — call Columbia Gas at 1-800-344-4077.

  4. 4
    Check the filter

    Pull and inspect. If gray-black, replace. A choked filter triggers high-limit shutoff on most modern furnaces.

  5. 5
    Call HVAC same-day if none of the above worked

    Service-call diagnosis runs $79-150 in NW Ohio. Common repairs: igniter ($245-485), flame sensor cleaning ($125-185), capacitor ($245-385), control board ($385-685).

Frequently asked

What's the cheapest possible cause?

Dead thermostat batteries — $0 to fix, you just need to walk to the kitchen drawer.

When is no-heat an emergency?

In NW Ohio: under 20°F outside, infants/elderly in the home, no working space heater, or pipes at risk of freezing. Otherwise it's same-day, not now.

I'm a renter — what are my rights?

Per Ohio Revised Code 5321, a landlord must keep the unit habitable, which includes heat. After written notice (text + email is OK), they have a reasonable time (usually 24-48 hours) to repair. Document everything for security-deposit + rent-deduction options.

Local context — South Findlay (Findlay, OH)

South Findlay covers Trenton Avenue + south of the bypass through the industrial-residential edge near Marathon Petroleum. Newer single-family stock means HVAC + roofing work dominates. Hancock County rural-edge homes south of US-224 use Wood County BI for permits, not city Zoning.
