As colder months move in, your customers count on you to keep their homes warm—and their furnaces working. Whether you’re stepping into a crawl space or loading up your truck for a call, staying ready means having the right gear, the right parts, and a partner who’s got your back.

Here’s a quick guide to help HVAC pros stay ahead this heating season.

What to Have on Hand

When it’s 20° outside and the call comes in, no one wants to scramble. Stocking these furnace essentials can save time and build trust:

• Limit switches & sequencers
• Blower motors and capacitors
• Igniters and flame sensors
• Thermostats (programmable & manual)
• Gas valve replacements
• Furnace filters in common sizes
• Fuses and wire connectors

And don’t forget:

• Electrical kits for older systems
• Furnace door switches and circuit boards for Intertherm, SmartComfort, and AirQuest models

Need matched systems? We carry complete Intertherm setups—from gas to electric—with the new R454B models already in stock.

Quick Troubleshooting Tips

When the customer’s saying, “no heat,” start with these basics:

1. Check for power first.
Blown fuse? Tripped breaker? Loose wire? Eliminate the simple stuff.

2. Look at the thermostat.
Batteries die, wires break, and sometimes it’s just set to the wrong mode.

3. Inspect the igniter and flame sensor.
Dirty or cracked? These are common failure points, especially in older units.

4. Blower not running?
Capacitor or motor could be your culprit. Check both—and always carry spares.

5. Flashing lights on the board?
Don’t ignore the diagnostics. Furnace LEDs are your best friend this time of year.

Pro tip: Keep manufacturer manuals on your phone or tablet. Blevins reps can help you locate wiring diagrams and spec sheets fast if you’re in a bind.
