Best Answer

When dealing with HVAC systems, notice that there are two systems at work, and two possibilities for failure: the HVAC control system, and the actual HVAC unit. Determine if your problem is in the function of the controller (blank screen, not turning on, relay does not click on when fan or thermostat is set past current temperature), or in the HVAC unit (thermostat relay is clicking but HVAC fan does not turn on, condenser outside fan is not spinning, etc.) If the air conditioner was 'grounded', as I understand it, I would think your HVAC breaker would trip. This should help you figure out your problem.
