What Does the Blinking Light on My Heater Mean?

Your heating system depends on lights to flash code when it needs to be repaired. It also uses these lights to relay it’s heating like it should.

Normal operation involves:

  • Concurrent slow flash—furnace heating correctly.
  • Both lights flash fast—heating system is beginning to call for heat.

If you realize that a lone light going on and off slowly and the other going on and off fast, your furnace may be having a low flame signal. This can happen even when your heater is running like it should. It means the flame sensing rod could need to be cleaned or in the incorrect spot on the burner. Call us at (815)914-6197 for assistance.

Here are some of the most common issues for Lennox heating systems.

Furnace Won’t Start

Here are some of the light sequences you could notice when your heater refuses to or keep heating. Most of these issues must be handled by a specialist, for instance from Temperature Doctors Heating & Cooling, Inc.

  1. The pair of LED lights are off. This signifies your heater might not have power. Examine the breaker box to make sure the heater fuse has not tripped.
