no hot air coming from furnace

in THE MAIN WALL
Okay, so it's below 30 tonight and my heater doesn't appear to be working. We have an electrice furnace. It will turn on but the air coming from the vents is cool at best. Any ideas on how to fix the problem? Hopefully this won't require a professional ($) visit.

    and...

    So the heat is working upstairs, but not downstairs. So something is afoul with one of our two units.

    We had a hot air system installed by a knucklehead...

    Many of the registers put out nothing, some put our cold air, and some put out warm air.



    Underneath the floor was a crawlspace with two main trunks (uninsulated) for the hot air to be delivered. Attached to them were flexible elephant-trunk hoses to the registers. The knucklehead had pushed the e-t hose over the fittings, but had used no screws or clamps to hold them on, so in time, some fell off. We were keeping the woodchucks warm at our expense. We had that whole system re-done with two zones, since it took two furnaces to heat the 200 year old leaky building.



    It might be you have a similar problem.
