Thermostat not turning on heat?
Let’s figure out the next step.
What is the thermostat doing?
FAQs
▶Why will my thermostat not turn on the heat?
Common causes include thermostat settings, dead batteries, tripped breakers, loose wiring, a control issue, or a problem with the furnace or heat pump.
▶What should I check first?
Check that the thermostat is set to heat, the temperature is set above room temperature, batteries are good if applicable, and the HVAC breaker is not tripped.
▶Can a thermostat be on but not start heat?
Yes. The display may work while the thermostat, wiring, controls, or heating equipment still has an issue.
▶Should I use emergency heat?
Emergency heat may help temporarily on a heat pump system, but it should not replace diagnosis if the heat pump is not working normally.
▶When should I call for heating repair?
Call if the thermostat is blank, unresponsive, will not start heat, the breaker trips, or the heating system does not respond after basic checks.
