My furnace and AC still won't turn on after replacing the thermostat. The circuit breaker is on and the switch for the furnace is okay. I been told that it maybe the trasformer is bad.

It is extremely hot rigth now in our area.

Need help how to find the problem

Thanks so much.

Don't be a party pooper

Here is my recent similar experience:
*Transformer 24v, OK
*Thermostat, OK
*Pulled-out furnace blower and removed direct-drive motor.
*Checked 7 1/2 MF Capacitor, OK.

Prognoses: 19year-old blower motor finally burned out; its been running continuosly for three wweks 24/7, during this hot spell.
(In retrospect, I now realize my first clue was condensate over-
flowing the cooling-coil as a coil freeze-up occurred due to no
blower action while the CU pulled down to lo-pres cut/out.)

To err is human to repair divine

with all units turned on, disconnect the t/s wires
1 jumper R & Y -the unit should start on cooling.
if this works rewire your T/S
2 if this fails try and see if you have 24V at R & Y
if you dont ,make sure that your T/S is on cooling or auto
goot luck
