Furnace blowing cold air — New York, New York
When your furnace runs but only pushes cold or lukewarm air through the vents, the problem usually lies with the pilot light, flame sensor, gas valve, or a clogged air filter that triggers a safety shutdown. A certified HVAC technician can diagnose the root cause and restore heat, often in a single visit.
