    How to restart an electric furnace?
    Our power was out for 3 days because of an ice storm. Now that the power is back on, out furnace will not come on. I've tried the automatic restart for the pilot light, I've turned the circuit breaker off and then back on. How can I get the furnace to restart?

    There is no pilot lite in a electric furnace.

    Brand of furnace?

    Exact model number of furnace?

    Brand of thermostat?

    Exact model number of thermostat.

    This info is needed to be able to help you.

    What doesn't come on? The blower... or does it blow cold air? The outside unit working, assuming you have a heat pump? HVAC is right... give us more info to help you
