What Does the Blinking Light on My Furnace Mean?
The blinking light on a furnace is a fault code from the control board. How to read it safely, what common codes mean, and when a reset is fine or not.

Yes, we repair furnaces in the Town of Oak Grove, Wisconsin. The call is a $79 trip charge, waived if the repair goes ahead, with the flat-rate price in writing first. We're open 7 days, 7am–9pm. Most homes here burn propane, so we check gas pressure at the furnace along with the ignition parts.
Natural gas mains don't reach most of Oak Grove's rural roads, so furnace calls here are mostly propane, electric or dual-fuel. Propane furnaces fail in familiar ways: igniters, flame sensors and inducers worn by long winters, plus a regulator or pressure problem that leaves a weak, lifting flame. Run the tank dry and the furnace locks out; your propane supplier generally leak-tests the lines before gas is restored, and then we sort out anything still wrong with the furnace.
Homes on bluff tops and open acreage take the wind. Wind gusting across a side-wall PVC vent can open the pressure switch, and drifting snow buries low vents. Electric furnaces and heat pump backup heat bring different calls: heating elements, sequencers and tripped breakers. Shop and pole-shed heaters count too, and we can service a propane unit heater on the same visit if you ask. We hold a Wisconsin license, and Wisconsin code governs the work.

It needs a look soon. A lazy yellow flame can mean low gas pressure from a regulator problem, dirty burners, or poor combustion that produces carbon monoxide. Shut the furnace off if your CO alarm sounds or the flame rolls out of the burner area. We measure gas pressure at the furnace and combustion in the flue, and if the fault is at the tank or regulator, your propane supplier handles that part.
Yes. Propane unit heaters in shops fail at the same parts a furnace does: igniters, flame sensors, inducers and venting. Shop dust and cobwebs plug them faster, and vent caps on metal buildings take a beating from the wind. We can look at the shop heater on the same trip as the house furnace, and each repair gets its own written flat-rate price before we start.
