That breaker is kinda like the new pilot light for gas furnaces (furni?) If it is a gas furnace it may have a circuit breaker on the unit.

I got them via reference from someone here at work and I liked their representatives and estimates they gave me. I had done alot of research ahead of time and they gave me a reasonable (not cheap Furnace/AC systems aren't cheap anyway) but decent estimate on the system I wanted. They also give great guarantees on their service and products or your money back.

If it does not have a pilot, you need to check the spark ignitor. If you hear a ticking noise when calling for heat, the spark ignitor is probably fine. In that case its probably a thermocouple. If its a thermocouple you'd definitely need a tech to come out and handle that. He suggested posting your question at heatinghelp.com on the forum.

When we had a similar problem, the furnace's blower would come on in response to the thermostat click, but no heat would emerge. We had to take the cover off the furnace and start putting a voltmeter across bits of the heater control stuff. (And then when we needed a repair guy for parts, Rob had to teach HIM how to find the problem.) But yours could well be the thermostat. (Fingers crossed for that one. It's simpler to fix!) If you have a handy electrical/electronics geek with a voltmeter, you could get pretty far in diagnosing this. It is intriguing that the furnace is not doing anything at all unless it’s on “fan”.

Someone who knows what they're doing, and I'm not one of them either, could take the cover off the thermostat and short the appropriate pair of wires to see if that would make the furnace turn on.

Are you on city utilities? If not, when did you last have your tank filled? Failing that, thermostat? If not the pilot light . . . ours did that when we ran out of gas or oil.
