I think my furnace is broken

Woke up this morning and it was 62 in the house even though the thermostat was set to 64. Sometimes it will sound like the furnace is starting up but it never starts blowing air. 

Someone's supposed to be coming out tonight around 7. Hopefully it's nothing too serious it's supposed to get colder this weekend

Might be the igniter.  When the thermostat senses that the temp is too low, it sends a signal to start a cycle.  The fan may kick in to purge the cold air before the furnace engages, then the gas starts & the igniter is supposed to light the gas.  A sensor is supposed to shut everything down if the igniter doesn't start, so you don't fill the place with gas.

Tell @Quackers to get off his lazy bum and fix it like the man of the house that he's meant to be.

Newer furnace; keep the air intake pipe and exit pipe clean an clear of all debris 

Old one; maintenance that bitch every 6 months

Well that's the landlord's job anyway. I found an old listing for this house when it was for sale a few years ago and I think it said the furnace was replaced in 04 so it would be getting up there in age.
