Where is the reset button on my heater?

Why is my furnace / heater not hot enough?
Because conditioned air fails to reach inside the home, it feels as though heat is insufficient. Air conditioner maintenance and heating maintenance are key to healing your central air system of these ailments.
Why does my heat pump not keep up with the temperature?
When its gets with 1.5 degrees of room temperature, the back-up heat cycles off and the heat pump continues to run trying to keep up to reach temperature, but it cannot. This happens most often when it is cold – less than 30 degrees. This is, however, the way heat pumps are designed to operate.
Why is my thermostat not reaching the set temperature?
This will help you to reach a more consistent temperature in every room of your home. Another reason that your thermostat may not be reaching the set temperature is that it is simply old and outdated. Like any appliance, your thermostat can eventually go on the fritz and need to be replaced.

If that isn’t the problem, call a technician for help. Below 40 degrees, your heat pump struggles to heat your home. So it relies on an auxiliary (AUX) heat coil (like the ones you see in a toaster) or a furnace to heat your home.
Why does my furnace not keep the house at a set temperature?
Once the thermostat reads enough warmth, it shuts off, leaving the rest of the house too cold. Your thermostat could be broken and misreading the temperature as being higher than it really is. This would cause the furnace to shut off before it actually warms the house enough.
