Furnace Question

[Tim Coltrain]

Can someone tell me if the Furnance switch has a breaker that I can turn off or kill power. In my 2016 XLR Thunder bolt the factory installed the ON/OFF Switch that control the AC & Furnance. The problem is when you are walking up the stairs to the bedroom the switch is right where your hand goes when going up. What is happening is the wife accidently hit the AC on to Off and somehow turned furnance on. I don't need furnance so I just as soon turn a breaker off until I needed it. I have checked the breaker box, and all fuses but none identify as Furnance. I assume they must have it tied into the AC breaker. Can anyone chime in and tell me how to de energize the Furnance. When we use our pull camper I never needed a Furnance. NC is way too warm for heat. anyway help appreciated.

Furnace is 12v so you'll have to pull the fuse not switch a breaker.

See what I see and see if you can identify the right fuse or breaker.

It's a little hard to read but I'm wondering if it's the 2nd 20amp from the top. All I can suggest is pull a few 12v fuses, maybe starting with the 20amp mentioned and see if the furnace is turned off.
As a second thought, could you configure a 'cover" for this switch that would not be in your way and yet allow for protection against accidentally flipping it?
Or, change the switch to a type that is less prone to being accidentally tripped?

While its never a good ideal to use a breaker (or fuse) as a switch, temporarily I don't see the harm.

There are secure covered switches that can do the job.

Yep, it also looked like "Fuel" to me, but it could also be a sloppy "Furn" and 20 amps could be right for a furnace. Mine is 15 amps though...

Both are in the halway. I assume this is where they normally put them. When the wife goes up the stairs to the bedroom she accidently turned AC off and Furnance on. This is why I need to de engergize.

How about something like this?

If there is an ugly hole behind it you could use a piece of colored card stock or plastic to cover the hole.

Depending on how big/brave you are....you COULD forbade her from touching.

Therma Heat FP18-01R/FP23-02R. How do you change the display temp from C to F?

[5picker]

Here is a photo of the part of the instruction booklet showing the Fº Cº settings.
It appears the second paragraph addresses how to change what they call the "temperature converting mode."

*HERE* is a link to the entire manual.

I have the manual it just keeps cycling through the C temps. Ideas?

[5picker]

From what I understand following the directions...

To change 'TEMPERATURE'... press the HEATING button, then press and hold the HEATING button (5 sec.) to cycle between various temperatures.

To change 'TEMPERATURE CONVERTING MODE'... press the HEATING button then press and hold the MAIN POWER BUTTON (5 sec.) to change the LED display from red(Fº) to green(Cº) or green(Cº) to red(Fº).

Again, I assume they mean Fº to Cº (or vice versa) when speaking of the temperature converting mode.
