Why isn't my forced air heater pushing air to the vents?
Dec 15, 2007 by mike p
My forced hot air heater stopped pushing air to the vents in my house yesterday.
The oil is still burning, the unit itself is hot, but the vents and duct work are all cold.
Nobody's messed with it, so it has to be something wrong with the unit itself. It's a pretty old and I don't have a whole lot of extra cash to throw around for someone to come and fix it.
Help!
You should hear your burner unit go on, then you should hear your blower kick on. If your blower isn't kicking on at all, the blower motor is shot and you need a new one. If it's humming with no air blowing, shut the power off, clean it, and lubricate it. Turn on the power, press any reset buttons if needed, and see what happens. If it's still not working after that, you'll need a new motor. And with price of oil being so high, until you do get it fixed, shut the power off to the unit as to not waste any more oil.
can I instal a thermostat on a diesel forced air heater that never had one to begin with?

There were other models like mine that had a thermostat. The brand is (All pro). It is a diesel kerosene forced air heater. It's automatic ignition and fan once I flip the switch. That makes me think it would be easy to instal if possible.
yap..and if it didn't work at all or it had other problems regarding what you installed it is best to remove it again.
