I recently changed my thermostat because the heat was not getting kicked on but the fan was. I read somewhere that hopefully it is just the thermostat. Well it isn't so any ideas what I am up against? Thanks!!

Gas or electric?

Electric...thanks. Should have mentioned that.

How old is unit? Newer ones have removable panel and lights that can blink a diagnostic code. Last time mine wasn't working, it was the damn batteries inside the thermostat!!

Probably a cheap sensor. Search TD and call a vetted company.

Maybe the new thermostat is bad too. I'd try once more.

Could be the heat sequencer, I'd call someone out to look at it.

You definitely need to change out the flux capacitor.

To test or rule out thermostat. Turn power off. Get a small screw driver. Disconnect Red wire which is the hot wire. White wire which is for heat and green wire which is fan. Twist these 3 together. Turn power back on. If heater comes on then your problem is the thermostat. If it doesn't then you got another problem. Turn power back off. Then correctly put wires back. While power is off, get a flashlight and check for burnt wires especially on control board.. this is next place to check.

Do you have a heat pump outside unit with electric heat strips or do you have a regular condensing unit with only electric heat strips???

Well what did you find out or decide to do???

They very seldom let you know what it was, kind of makes you want to leave them hanging, but hey..........
