You may need to clean the flame sensor. What kind of unit is it? How old is it? Go to youtube and search for a video on cleaning the flame sensor.
On my carrier unit (9 years old) I normally clean the flame sensor at the beginnng of the heating season. You can use a fine steel wool to remove the soot that builds up on it. One screw is all it takes to remove the flame sensor. 5 minute job, but if you have it service at a minimum 100 bucks.
Do your furnance used a spark ignition or a hot surface ignitor to ignite the gas (I'm assuming we are talking about gas)?
