Thermostat is on but the heat, fan or A/C will not come on.

Electricians can’t come due to weather.

Any ideas on things we could check ourselves?

None of the breakers are tripped.

I’d call an HVAC tech not an electrician, first.

There’s nothing working? You may have a breaker in your hvac closet id check that. Otherwise could be a simple setting with your thermostat.

We called hvac companies first.

The thermostat is on that’s it.

Put some more clothes on. How do you think people survived at the beginning of time? You’ll be okay.

Can you see if you have a faulty float switch? I assume it will also shut down heat if it's tripped. I'm not positive though. Try bypassing them If you don't have multimeter. I know mine has 2. One on the drain pipe and one in the coil.

I had a similar issue with gas not lighting.

Went up in the attic and reset the switch going to the air handler/inside unit. That must have reset the electronics as it fired up after that.

Like others have suggested, change batteries in thermostat if it has them.

Our heat won't kick on, gas, only 6 years old, but we rarely use it. We just had it working a WEEK ago when our HVAC shut off due to an electrical issue at the disconnect. We have the fan but it WON'T turn off under any conditions so we unplugged it. We have two space heaters going into each of the kids rooms and the master bath heater running and it is comfortable in our house.
