Thermostat Not Working in Columbia, SC

The thermostat itself is blank, frozen, or simply isn't making the system respond - which can look identical to a much bigger equipment fault from the homeowner's side.

What usually causes this

Dead batteries, even on a hardwired smart thermostat, which often still uses batteries as backup
A tripped breaker or blown fuse cutting power to the whole system, not just the thermostat
A wiring fault behind the thermostat, sometimes from a recent battery change or a DIY smart-thermostat install

What to do before someone arrives

Replace the batteries even if the display shows something, since a low battery can cause erratic behavior before it goes fully blank
Check the breaker panel for the HVAC circuit
If it's a recently installed smart thermostat, note that when you call - wiring mismatches are a common cause

Questions people ask

Is a broken thermostat cheap to fix?

Usually, yes - it's one of the less expensive HVAC calls. But confirming it's actually the thermostat and not the equipment behind it is worth having a technician check, since the symptoms can look the same.
