Any heating and cooling experrs out there

I had a brand new sheathing air conditioning unit for then in July and the furnace was working okay for a couple weeks and everything just stopped yesterday. It's like it has no power at all I changed the switch going to the furnace there is power getting to there. When you turn the thermostat up nothing happens if you turn the fan on on and not Auto nothing happens if I try to click on the air-conditioning unit nothing happens. I changed the batteries and the thermostat and that didn't do anything should I change the thermostat

If this was just installed in July, should be under warranty. Call the installer. Fla Dem Oct 2021 #11
Manufacturer might have troubleshooting dept you can talk to as well SheltieLover Oct 2021 #9

That's the reason I asked on here until I can reach the guy who put it in in July in the meantime if there was something I could do I'm a service plumber and I've had helped people on this forum who had Plumbing questions so I was just seeing if anybody could return the favor

Did you test wiring circuit at control board & after it in the circuit?

I'm not an expert at this, but one is sitting right here next to me

Which is connected by the thermostat wiring.

Possible fuse in control board is blown. There is a little 3 amp fuse in control board. Fuse is usually purple.

I hope this is helpful.

I hope it is something simple you can rectify on your own.

My worst nightmare is for AC to fail.

What brand is it?

They vary in how much customer support they will provide to consumers.

But worth a try to call troubleshooting or look for diagnostic videos online.

I would think the unit to still be covered under warranty, as it's really brand new.

What is a sheathing a/c unit?

I just had a new furnace put in on Tuesday. I opted to not have the a/c unit replaced because where I live in Colorado evaporative coolers can do a pretty good job of cooling the house for a fraction of the price. Last year I only turned on the a/c unit one time, so I didn't think it was worth it to spend another $5500 on a new one.

I've never heard of a sheathing a/c unit. ?
