The photos appear to show a heating only thermostat, a very basic

My fault...



I should have mentioned that the thermostat also controls the A/C.

Here is a picture showing the "COOL" setting:

Then I agree with Rick, blue should be for cooling. I saw
something on the left, but I didn't see anything labeled for
cooling vs heating on the thermostat housing and whatever
was sticking out, looked very small. Almost like it was cut
off.

So, hook red to white and the furnace should fire up.
