    Default thermostat

    Had a friend that wanted me to look at why his furnace would not come on the other day ( like I am a HVAC guy now that I am a Home Inspector). The thermostat had no on/auto on it. I was confused by this. It was a small two burner gas furnace. Just curious! Thanks.

    What kind of Stat? A round Honeywell T87 without a cooling sub base doesn't have any switches on it. Lots of the older non-programmable heat mode only stats don't have any switches.
    Did you check for 24V across the stat or at the furnace? Is this a newer older unit. Check for blinking lights on a newer unit. Could be no power, no 24V, bad trans, who knows, lots of possibilities.

    Great thanks. It is round old honeywell. It also has no A/C on it. I was just confused why there would be no option on the blower. Thanks a lot.

    Some fan and limit control switches have a manual fan on / off switch that can be controlled at the furnace.
