The house is heated by a gas boiler. Today, it's not kicking on.

The thermostat has working batteries and is displaying both the correct temperature and the "heat on" light.

The furnace is not out of water.

All appropriate lights are lit on the furnace, so we can be reasonably certain that it isn't a device-specific power outage.

Turning the "boiler on/off" switch at the top of the stairs did nothing, so power cycling isn't the solution.

Is there anything else I can try (that won't burn the house down!) before I call the repairman?

Not knowing the vintage of the beast, I'd suspect either a pilot light or a hot-surface igniter problem. I don't mess with gas appliances, beyond lighting a pilot light if one exists. Too easy to go BOOM . . .
