What sort of heater? Diesel fired, Gas fired?

Power to the unit? Does it attempt to light? Gas/fuel taps switched on?
Bled any air out of the system?

After the winter layup i always light the hobs 1st, then the grill/oven. Then i move onto the fire and fridge.

Fridge last because it uses the smallest amount of gas compared to the rest so bleeds are out faster.

If its diesel fired can you hear the pump?
