What do you do when you turn up the thermostat and nothing happens in the furnace? First go to your fuse box and reset the circuit breaker. Go back to the thermostat. Turn it all the way down for 30 seconds, and then set it somewhere above the room temperature. If the furnace still does not switch on, service the thermostat, seeking dirt and loose wires.
If you don’t find a fault in the thermostat, look for loose wires at the furnace. Reset any circuit breakers in the furnace compartment. Examine fuses, if there are any. Replace blown ones with new fuses of the same amperage.
When you have plenty of fuel, and you know electric power is on, yet the furnace won’t operate, call a technician.
