![]() Insurance won't cover it? Typical home policies cover damage from power surges so if the damage is adding up it would certainly be worth investigating.

![]() jimbo22- looked at the fuse- it is okay..I will try jumping - but think it is more likely the transformer or motherboard/
Sphelps - I had a house fire like 4 years ago - my fear is that if I make another claim the insurance will go through the roof or they will drop me as a client. figured it wasn't worth taking the chance for a couple of thousand.

![]() Check with your electric company if there's something going on around you and your neighbours are having issues as well. I recently learned that if it's a transformer issue and it's causing damages, the utility company is likely responsible and will cover repairs. Power surges are generally caused by lightening and don't just happen. I've been dealing with this on a 200,000 sqft building and HVAC equipment being fried, but have ruled out surges. You may want someone to come in and do a thermoscan of your electrical in your house if nothing is found on the main equipment.

![]() when you remove the panel to access the board there is a switch that shuts off power to the furnace, if you push the switch in it should power the board, the most common problems with that type of furnace is the vent motor which should be running, the pressure switch that tells the board the vent motor is running, the hot surface igniter, or the condensate drain is plugged.
The vent motors can seize up over the summer when not in use.
