To safely relight the pilot light on your Carrier furnace, follow these steps: Turn off the furnace and wait for at least 5 minutes for any gas to dissipate. Locate the pilot light assembly and the control knob. Turn the control knob to the "pilot" position and press it down. While holding the knob down, use a long lighter to ignite the pilot light. Keep holding the knob down for about 30 seconds to allow the pilot light to stay lit. Release the knob and turn it to the "on" position. Turn the furnace back on to ensure the pilot light stays lit. If it doesn't, repeat the process or contact a professional for assistance.
