• Thermostat Check
• The first thing you should do is to run a
  thermostat check. To do so, follow these steps
• Keep the thermostat setting on "heat".
• Check if the temperature of the room where the
  thermostat is situated is a bit cooler than the
  temperature setting of the thermostat.
• If your thermostat is programmable, check if it
  is running smoothly and is set to correct date
  and time.
• If it is run with a battery, check if the battery
  is still working well and if it shows an
  indication of low battery condition.
• High-Efficiency Furnace
• The high-efficiency furnace will bring in the
  air from the outside which contains moisture.
  Check if the drain line is open. The drain line
  is usually the clear tube that you can find
  nearby the bottom part of the furnace and just
  below the humidifier or air conditioner drains.

• Switches Check
• Check if all switches including the breakers,
  interlock switches, and fuses of your furnace are
  turned on. You can find the breakers and fuses at
  the electrical service panel while the main on
  and off switch can be consulted on the furnace
  itself. If everything looks well, then you don't
  have to worry. However, if something seems
  irregular, you may run a quick furnace repair.
• Check the interlock switch of the blower
  compartment door. Check if the door is still in
  the right position. Also, verify if the blower
  shuts off if you remove the door. You can find
  the blower compartment at the bottom-most portion
  of your Ottawa furnaces.
