No Heat/Clicking Noise/No Pilot light
I woke up this morning with no heat. Only air blowing out of the ac unit. The pilot light is not lit and i can hear a clicking like noise coming from the unit, as if it's trying to do something. Help!

Clicking noise
Noises are hard to troubleshoot but what you may be hearing is a spark ignition system trying to light the pilot.

Grady, Thanks for your response.

If it's my spark ignition system, what's my next step or how can i verify if this is the problem?

Remove & clean the pilot burner including the orifice.
