Yippie! Furnace died yesterday! I think ignitor or ignition module went cafluee.
8* last night for a low, 25* today for a high. Just another balmy January day in Meechigan.
But thats always when they die, right? When you need them most.

Surprisingly, the house didnt get below 60* last night, buts it sure is chilly in here right now. Im just sitting here next to a small space heater waitin on the repairman......

that blows, know the feeling.

We lost power a yr or 2 for about 16 hours in 10 degree weather with 20 mph winds. And having a electric only house, the fireplace sure got a workout.

Im just bored outta my mind, cant go anywhere b/c they said "late morning, early afternoon". Dog is looking at me like, "What are you doing home?" I need a beer.

Wife says to me yesterday, "Tom, the furnace is blowing cold air". So I go over to the Tstat and look -- it reads 68* and "heat on". Blower is running. Uh oh. Go into basement, look thru the spy hole at the burner....no flame. Shit. Now Im thinking about the $$$ that will be flying out of my wallet soon. :roflmao: Looking online, ignitor is $170, ignition module is $397, plus the service call fee ($90) and labor (who knows $$). Please let it be something simple....

Ah well. After 17 years of trouble free service, I guess it had to happen some time. Cant say Im disappointed in ArcoAire. Where the heck is that repairman? Where is my beer? Damnit dog....get away from that bottle....

I know exactly how you feel. Got to work this morning to a dead furnace. It got down to -12* here last night and only up to 14* at the high. Making for a really long day at work. I could use one of those beers.
