It’s a question we receive all the time: will a gas furnace work without electricity? It won’t, and there are a few reasons why.
Before we delve into the three main components of your furnace that require electricity, we want to make it clear that if you’re experiencing any problem with your furnace’s electrical system, do not try to repair it on your own.
