Check out the list below to see if you are having any of the following problems.

2) Is your unit unplugged? Check both your thermostat and your heating unit to ensure that they are plugged in.
3) Is your thermostat set correctly? Look at your thermostat to make sure that your system is on and set to heat.
4) Have you possibly tripped a breaker? Go to your circuit breaker and check to see if any other breakers have been tripped. If so, reset them and see if this will turn your heating system on.
