Well i could not figure out
why it was getting cold in the house.....well I think something is wrong
with the furnace........and hubby wont be back till about
4.................so I have to figure out what is wrong with the furnace
and no one I can call; dont have the extra money for a repairman........
Ugh I just went through the furnace problem. It would shut off frequently. I have an oil burning furnace. There is a "reset" button on the furnace, if you remove the front cover of it. Ours is RED. If we pushed that, the thing would fire back up again and run for a while...but then if it shut off again (when the temp in the house got the right temp) it would not start up again until we hit the reset switch again. I had the repairman out here last winter at the end of the winter about 4 different times and he changed parts, messed with stuff, charged me an arm and a leg, and still didn't fix the damn thing. So this year, we were having the same problem. I finally called a new guy to come in and he found a loose screw. A LOOSE SCREW on the sensor thing that senses the temperature...or somethng like that) So all it was was a matter of tightening that darn screw. He didn't want to charge me, but I gave him $20.00 ! anyway for his time. That was a few weeks ago and my furnace has not shut off since then. You might want to look for a reset button and try that for a temporary fix, just to get the house warmed back up. Even if it doesn't fix the problem, you can at least have heat periodically. It's worth a shot. I hope you can get it figured out. I know what it's like to be cold! NO FUN!
