Is there a flame sensor that need to be cleaned, my old furnace used to try
and lite, the the draft fan for the flue would come on but the flame on the
burner would not lite.

I removed the sensor wiped it off and reinstalled it and no more problems.

Switched the furnace on today and it wouldn't heat. The fan for the
exhaust pipe comes on, but the burner won't light. The two green
indicator lights on the works are blinking green (fast blink) It worked
fine six months ago. Gas company wants $85 to come out and look at it.
Any suggestions? It's s Lennox Surelight Elite series.


This is Turtle.

The Gas Company wants $85.00 to come look at it but what does it cost for
a person that does this repair service for a living want ? Gas Company
hire the least skilled personel to work on these furnaces and the HVAC
contractor pay the most for tech's to do this type of work. The Gas
company around here did hire HVAC tech for the furnaces at $11.00 a hour
and the hvac service companys paid $20.00 a hour for their tech's. The gas
company tech just as soon as they really got good at what they did. They
went to work for the HVAC service company for you had to know what you was
doing to work for them but with the gas company you could be a rookie and
get by.

By what you said here it could be atleast 20 different things and maybe a
few more added in. You would have to give a more in detail info on this to
even get started.

You call the gas company about the fuel supply to your home and the HVAC
service companys for to work on them.
