Flame goes out.So i relight it and after a few seconds it blows the flame hard and then the furnace starts,but the flames shoot out at me for half a second before it starts.Thats not that bad though.I havent had to relight it in a while.

but now the flame stays lite but will not blow the hot air out the floor ducts.It sounds like it wants to start but cant.Wish i could tell you more but im new to all this furnace stuff.

The landlord is a jerkoff and he always says he will be right over but then dissapears for a few weeks after i talk to him.

The heating company came over one time to look at it and said the wiring was a real mess and got it to work when the light kept going out.

Its hard to get any real help from anybody.The whole world is against me.Any help would be greatly apreciated.If replying please speak normal english as i do not know very much

thank you

Your landlord is the only one who should take care of this. If you start doing the work on it, he could come back and sue you. If he is not fixing it, take him to court. It is the landlords resposibility for these items.

When you rent Dont try and work on any part of a furnace or like the AC. They will say you did it. That is why it dont work now. ;)
