Could the thermostat not working in your house cause you to not have heat?

Absolutely. A thermostat in your house maintains the temperature you put it on at a constant level. It sends a small electrical signal to the heater unit (Oil or Gas) turning it on and off, this is done by two methods. The old way was a coil that would move a Mercury filled glass attached to it, to open and close the contacts that would make or break the circuit. The better ones are electronically controlled and do, in theory, exactly the same thing. Think of it as an on and off switch to the heater unit.

Why does the thermostat keeps turning on and off?
Because that is its job! A thermostat is a device that measures the temperature of a given space or volume, and turns heating / cooling devices on and off accordingly. The thermostat in your house is designed to turn the heating off when the house is warm and turn it on when the house is cold. The thermostat in your car turns the radiator fan on when the oil / water temperature increases to a level that could be damaging to the engine (if you are stuck in traffic for example)

Your thermostat is downstairs and the upstairs is hot How can you cool the upstairs?
This is just one possibility. This is what I did. We have a bi-level house and the thermostat was down stairs like yours is. What I did was move the thermostat upstairs. I was lucky though cause I was able to access the top floor through a closet down stairs and then ran it up the wall. Then the down stairs was freezing at first so what I did was close the down stairs vents some and it cools the upstairs great now. The down stairs is definitely cooler now, but the the upstairs is tons better. Hope this helps. Good luck.

If the house is changing its temperature, different structural elements will expand or contract at different rates, causing friction and consequent noises which can be quite loud. This is particularly true in basements.
