Help with Furnace

clh186

I woke up this morning with my house at 54⁰. My thermostat was set but my heat never kicked on in the night. I watched and googled what it could be. I did a reset and it fired back up and was on all day about 12 hours until I turned the thermostat down before I left. Came home and it was the same issue. It stopped working. Have a 2013 Beckett. When I switch the power on, it clicks once, no fan and just has a solid red light. I've slacked on yearly service over the past couple years so I know I did this to myself. Any ideas if this is an easy fix and what it might be? Could it be as simple as a clogged filter or more of a dead ignitor? I've read they only last about 7 years. Thanks for the help.

You need an oil burner tech.

To elaborate, there are a lot of things that could be going on here and some of them could cause a fire so it is critical that you get a competent oil burner tech to figure out what is going on.

Sounds like the burner motor is bad or off on overload.

You need to call a tech. Not having been service in a while is a can of worms. You could have real problems.

Thanks for the responses. I reset it again this morning since it's so cold. It's been running all day without stopping which it hasn't done the past few days. Wouldn't it stop itself if there was a serious issue? I read that this happened with somebodys Beckett and they had to upgrade the electric oil igniter.

That was somebody else's issue. Yours may be different since it's been a long time being serviced.
Rather than risking your luck or even life, get someone reputable to do a full service and diagnostic.
