Does the central air come on? Does the fan run if you switch it from Auto to On? If the answer to both of these questions is yes the stat is probably bad. If yes to the first and no to the second question, it is either the cooling fan relay or a broken fan signal wire from the stat ( the G wire). To prove this, turn the air handler unit power off. Locate the low voltage terminal board inside it(where the stat wires are connected) and put a jumper between terminals R and G, replace all the unit covers and turn the power back on. If the fan starts the problem is the G wire, if not it`s the relay. Verify this by doing the same test at the stat (R to G), the fan should not start. If it does the stat is bad.

Does central heating work better than an air condition unit?
Depending on what situation it is. If it is a small house central heating works better, if it is a big house then air conditioning works better.
What do you do if central air conditioning ducts are not blowing out strong enough to cool upstairs?
There could be a number of problems. Dirty ducts or heat exchanger. Wrong speed on the fan, or turning the wrong way. Plugged filters or vents.
What are heat pumps used for?
A heat pump is a central air conditioner that uses a reversing switch to operate in reverse; the way the air conditioner works in the summer. If you went to the big fan unit (condenser) outside your house during the summer, you would notice, it blows hot air from the fan . Heat pumps are used to produce heat for residential housing, economically, by absorbing temperate winter air, and using it to heat your house. Heat pumps can usually maintain heat in your house down to about 20 degrees Fahrenheit, until you would need to use another source to heat your house. Heat pumps are mostly used in the Southern parts of the United States, where the winters are mild, Heat pumps can be economically used in other parts of the United States where average temperature during the winter may not go below the 20 degrees, disused earlier, and the break-over price for fuel cost using the main furnace. Usually, propane gas, verses running the electricity for the heat pump is more economical. To find out if a heat pump would work for your situation. Contact a qualified hvac contractor to perform an energy survey of your residence.
What is a contactor for a Central Air Unit?
The relay actuated by the thermostat which starts and stops the compressor and condenser fan in the outdoor unit.
How does the Amana heat pump work?
An Amana heat pump works just like an air conditioner would work. When the temperature outside starts falling, the heat pump automatically turns on and by reversing the process of turning air cold, it heats the air instead, thus allowing you to keep your home warm.
You have an electric forced air furnace and central air. why does the central air fan run when furnace comes on?
You must have a heat pump with electric auxilliary heat.
What could be wrong if your central air runs but blows no air?
Air Conditioning works but no air.The fan isn't working. The fan has to come on to move the air. I had same issue few years back....was a $12.00 relay on the side of my hydro heat system
How air blower works?
There is a little motor, a fan, and coils. These coils heat up with the motor causing heat that heat is then pushed by the fan into the direction you want it.
Does a central air conditioning system have heat transfer coils?
The heat transfer coils are in the outside unit where the compressor and fan are to dissipate the heat generated and removed from the inside air.
Why does your central heat blow cool air when it comes on?
If it`s a heat pump, they do that, heat is not instantaneous with them. If it`s a furnace the fan/limit switch or fan delay timer whichever you have, needs to be adjusted.
2000 ford ranger and the blower works but there is no heat or clod air?
It is likely the duct work how ever it can be the fan has come off the fan motor
Why doesnt my Goodman CPLE36 1 central AC unit with heat pump turn on outside but inside it blows air throughout the house though it's not cool air and the heat only works on emergency heat?
The thermostat turns on the heat pump and indoor fan. If an electrical sub circuit to or within the heat pump fails or locks out the heat pump, the outdoor part will not turn on.
Why does the HVAC thermostat say that the heat is on when it isn't and the air conditioning works perfectly?
All that thermostat indication is saying is that the heat is supposed to be on. If you hear the fan running for a minute or so after the heat indicator has gone out this is normal as the fan is blowing out the remaining residual heat in the furnace after the flame has gone out. The same works in reverse once the stat indicates a call for heat the fan does not start for a minute or so to allow the furnace to heat up and not to blow cold air into the space at start up.
