The condenser has pair of breakers on your circuit breaker panel. make beneficial they do no longer seem to be tripped. additionally make beneficial that the ability disconnect on the condenser is contained interior the ON place. then you definitely actual get deeper and as quickly as you have some awareness and a volt meter, make beneficial that the contactor has 24 volts on one area (from the thermostat) and it has 220 volts going to the compressor and condenser fan. additionally do a seen inspection of the capacitor for the condenser. Is it rusty, or bulged out like a spoiled can on vegetables? additionally at your thermostat, make beneficial that each and every and each individual the wires are tight and overall performance 24 volts on the comparable time as called for. inspite of each and every thing this, if nevertheless no A/C, if in case you have a huge subject and require the centers of an HVAC service tech.

Reset the thermostate to zero, then when it turns on reset it to 70 degrees or where you want it. I had a couple of friends set their thermostat in the winter to 65 and always wore sweaters to offset the chill and after a couple of months stopped wearing the sweaters because their bodies had adjusted to that degree of warmth. I just hate having cold hands.

Oil or Gas?
if you have a round mercury filled thermostat put it on heat/ auto.
if there is and electrical spark inside the Mercury filled glass, the wiring on the low voltage is fine if not wiring problem.
that's just the beginning.

i am assuming that this is a gas or oil furnace. If that is the case you could have a pilot light problem, gas valve might be the problem, thermocouple , operating and or limit switch problem or you are out of gas or oil.It could als be the heating side of the t-stat wiring.

You are low on gas!!!! I do like your first reply though. Made me laugh. Do you live in America. If so you could be low on refrigerant gas. I assume you are talking about Air Conditioning.

If it's a gas heater, the thermocouple may be burnt out. It's a very cheap, easy fix.

If you have natural gas, the pilot might be not working properly, you may have to hire a HVAC guy to fix it soon, you don't want carbon monoxide in your place.

Is it a heat pump?
