Thermostat clicks as it should and always has when it turns on the older Lenox heater, outlets work where heater plugged in, but no air is forced up to vents. No air means no heat, and I don't know where to begin to discover what the matter is...do you?

whats a blower door? To answer the pilot question, I had to relight one time last year manually. I ruled out the pilot because it blew cold air even when the pilot was out. Anyway, trying to keep the landlord out of it so we get the new carpet they want to put in. O, and there is no switch for the furnace. Typing quickly to stay warm,
Thanks

Is this a high efficiency furnace that has a draft inducer and 2 inch pvc pipe to exhaust the burned gas? No sound at all, eh?

Landlord? Oops, you said the wrong word. We can't help if that is not your house/apt.
