Heater turns on, but intermittenly

LenoxC26-51, elite series
Just installed a new thermostat today, but the problem is still occuring. The heater was blowing warm air right after I installed the new thermostat, but I just returned home (after 2 hours) and now it's 57 degrees again in the house. Checking the heater, the gas isn't blowing. Help! It's 32 degrees outside and getting colder.

Turn the power to the furnace off and then back on and see if it resets. If not you may have a bad ignitor or dirty sensor.
Hope this helps.

Changing out old thermostat
your old thermostat is a milivolt and the wire runs from the heater to the thermostat. You have to open the back of the new one and connect the wire as per the instructions on the wireing diagram that came with the new one. I just installed a similar one myself, you will be very happy with it.
