Went to turn the furnace on and I got nothing. A/C and Air Handler are working but nothing on the furnace.
It’s a oil burner, forced air. It also is equipped with a draft inducer.

Are all the covers in place. My old furnace had switch on cover wouldnt let it run with cover not in place. Also had a fuse by the switch on side of the furnace. Wouldn't run if batteries were dead in thermostat. But if AC comes on that is probably not that.

Thermostat appears to be operating correct. I have power to the inducer but that’s where it ends. Pressure switch is functioning as it should. Head scratching for sure.

Is A DRAFT INDUCER THE SAME AS A POWER VENT, If so, If the squirrel cage is wore out for carbon buildup

Oil burners will have a reset switch...check that first. It will not fire if triggered. 2X Mine was on the side of the head that you couldn't see.

You're talking about a draft inducer on a long run of smoke pipe? Yes, inducer comes on, pressure switch test good but it isn’t sending power to the burner unit.

Would be my first check after hitting the reset, check that the fan is able to turn and not stuck, we had one a few years ago that the motor burned out and they didn’t make that motor anymore, luckily the old time hometown hardware store knew a guy that could rebuild it so we got several more years out of it otherwise would have had to replace the whole furnace
