Furnace wont heat apartment, why?
I rent and had the maintenance guy out here before cuz it was blowing cold air for a long time when I turned it on in the morning. He said that was normal. I timed it tonight and its been on for over an hour and it hasnt risen one degree in here, the air feels luke warm, if that. It started at 68, and its 48 degrees outside. It is warm most the time, seems to be intermittent. Now its nighttime and its going to get to colder, around 40. Should I call emergency maintenance? This cant be normal.
I just went and felt the air again and now its warm...but its been about 1 1/2 hours, so now its raised 2 degrees in the last 10-15 minutes. Now it feels normal but it shouldnt take this long to "start" to warm up right?

its not the circuit board or nothing would work, the most likely think if its partialy working is a bad sequencer assuming it an electric furnace and sequencers can be intermittent, not terribly expensive but let a pro handle it they have 24v and 240v

Yep, call them, Your furnace should be working correctly.
It sounds like one or more of the coils might be bad or perhaps one of the sensors.
All easy to replace.
Try turning off the breaker for it and turn it back on again. See if that works.

They need to get your own controls. It is illegal to have the controls to one unit in another unit. You must be able to control your own unit. He HAS to fix that weather he likes it or not. Send him a certified letter stating that if he does not have this done with in 30 days that you will have a licensed electrician do it and take the cost off the next months rent. This is legal in most states.
