Going on 15 hours with no heat...

Birvini · January 21st, 2003, 03:58 PM

At midnight I noticed it was getting a little chilly in my house. The damn 3 year old furnace crapped out. It's one of those that you can't manually light, and basically have to call someone out to fix. The guy has been working on it for two hours, leaving twice to get parts. This sucks. It's supposed to get below zero soon. I miss the days when your pilot light went out you put a lighter near where the pilot SHOULD be, lit it and prayed you would not get blown to pieces.

Looks like I need to head out for some electric blankets, it's going to be a cold night at my house!!!!

Be careful your pipes don't freeze.

No fireplace. I'm using a crappy space heater, so by tomorrow, I'll probably have burned my house down!

While you're out, grab some of those oil filled electric heaters. I have some for when I run out of propane and they work great!

**Smokin** · January 21st, 2003, 04:15 PM

I might have to turn the heat on tonight. Its in the 40's [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Birvini · January 21st, 2003, 04:25 PM

Hmmm, inside temp is holding at 51.9. BRRRRRRRR it's cold in here!!!!

**Smokin** · January 21st, 2003, 04:32 PM

Thats insanely cold!!! I consider it cold outside when it hits 50!

**King GTS** · January 21st, 2003, 05:27 PM

It was over 70 here today. I'm taking the bike out for a cruise in a bit.

If you have a separate water heater (NYC tenement heat) turn on your shower and run the hot water. The addition of hot humidity will actually heat the house quite a bit. Also cook something! Anything! Heat from the burner/oven will help and you always feel warmer with a full stomach. Actually, another trick is to order in some chinese food... you'll probably sweat like a pig between the msg and the spices.

Always hot as hell after a good hearty (portion for 2) orange or ginger chicken!

Birvini,

I just went through that, it was the auto lighter,, I knew how to fix, but I had to call a heating guy to buy the part.

Check to see if you have voltage 110 ac, at the igniter when you turn it on!
