Default Diy if your furnace is not working

Yes, it doesn't get very cold in Florida in the winter. But, when it does we still need to turn on our furnace. If you have a gas furnace and your not getting heat this is most likely your problem. There is a small part called a "flame sensor" in your furnace. Most of them are easy to reach and only held in by a small screw.
Just turn off your furnace and remove this sensor. You should first try and clean it. Or you can just replace the part with a new one. The part is very cheap vs paying for a HVAC man to come out to your house to look at it. And of course that is not going to be cheap. Here is just a short video telling you something about this.
