Brrr!
This morning we awoke to discover it was quite chilly in the house. Attempts to adjust the thermostat were unsuccessful and we decided to call in a service technician to diagnose and (hopefully) fix the problem. Our furnace is probably 25 or 30 years old. We know someday we’ll have to replace it but are hoping that it won’t be today… with any luck we can nurse this beastie along for another year or so. Dang.
UPDATE: Apparently our furnace just needs a $500 thingy. It’s just expensive enough to be really annoying but not expensive enough to justify replacing the furnace. Fortunately, the repair technician located the part we needed and managed to install it immediately. So we’re back to living in a heated house again. Overall, not so bad I suppose.
