To turn on a furnace without a thermostat, locate the furnace switch on or near the unit. Flip the switch to the "on" position to start the furnace. Keep in mind that without a thermostat, you won't be able to control the temperature or set a programmed schedule for the furnace to operate.
Thermostat
Well, I don't mean to sound snarky, but when it doesn't work anymore! The thermostat, in its most basic form, is just a switch to turn the heater on. If the heater turns on and off like it should, it is OK. If the heater doesn't turn on, or worse yet doesn't turn off, you should look into getting a new one. Some tests you can perform: Heater doesn't turn on? Get at the wires running to the thermostat and touch the two control wires (You will have to look into the furnace documentation if you have more than two wires) together. If the furnace clicks on, it's the thermostat. If it doesn't, it's the furnace. Heater doesn't turn off? When the furnace is running disconnect one of the control wires. If the furnace shuts off it's the thermostat. If it doesn't, it's the furnace.

A thermostat is commonly used to control a furnace. It measures the temperature in the room and signals the furnace to turn on or off to maintain a set temperature.
It sends an electric signal to the valve to tell it to turn on or off.
Check the wiring connections to the thermostat to ensure they are secure and correctly connected. Make sure the thermostat settings are set correctly for the furnace to turn on at the desired temperature. If issues persist, consult a professional technician to diagnose any underlying problems with the furnace.
Yes this is an energy savings when you turn down the thermostat at night. Yes this is an energy savings when you turn down the thermostat at night.
The negative feedback system. It works much the way a thermostat works. When the temperature in a room drops below a set level, the thermostat signals the furnace to turn on. Once the furnace has raised the temp in the room to the set level, the thermostat signals the furnace to shut off. It will continue to stay off until the thermostat signals that the temp has dropped again.
when running the heat-pump the air blowing from the heat ducts is not hot ( it's to cold for the heat-pump). you have a main furnace and it won't turn on ( is thermostat selected for this source), ( is the power switch for main furnace on ), ( is fuse for this furnace good). If these are good (check thermostat wiring at thermostat, and transformer).
Sounds like you might have a blown transformer, or a blown fuse on the transformer. Hope for the fuse. Its on the Furnace. Be sure your white wire is on the heat side of the thermostat, and the red wire is on the correct terminal also. The transformer can be checked with a voltmeter.
When you say the furnace is still running, I take that to mean the fan and not the actual flame portion of the furnace. If this is correct, you either have a fan relay that is sticking closed or your tstat is bad. == == == == There may be a very slight time delay the the thermostat before turning off the furnace, but if you are sure that you have turned the thermostat off and the fire continues to burn, you have a serious problem. Have it checked out. The gas valve may be sticking in the open position. Regards
