It is sooooo cold in our house...... It is really cold outside today - my car was registering -2 farenheit as the actual temperature on the way home from my class this morning. It was freezing in the house yesterday - the furnace was running non-stop and the thermostat only got up to 64!! Today, however it is down to 60. I have a call into the repair facility but am 16th on the list. The blower is running, the thermostat appears to be working, but the ignition doesn't seem to be working. The only room in the house not totally freezing is the office - good thing since that is where the computer is and we spend most of the day there anyway! There will be lots of puppy cuddling and wrapping in blankies till we get fixed!!! Please send us warm thoughts!! |
Oh no, not fun:( Here's hoping the repair people get through the list quickly and get you some heat soon! |
Oh no.........Make yourself some hot cocoa and stay warm in a blanket! Sending you lots of WARM wishes!!! LOL!! Hope fully the repair people get there soon!!!!!! |
Hope all of you can stay warm till the repair man gets there. If not bundle up. :cold smil It's really cold here today also. But warmer than where you are. High's today in the low 20's here. Stay warm.... Rudys Mom (Dawn):animal-pa |
Sending you lots of warm thoughts. We are at -11 degrees last night too! |
Wow, your the second one today that is without heat. That isn't so good when you live in a cold state anyway. I do hope the problem is fixed really soon. Do you have a space heater to help take the cill out? |

I am a sissy when it comes to cold and that is why I live in Calirfonia. It is so beautiful here on the coast today. Not meaning to rub it in Jodie. Hope you stay warm! |
its so cold in our house to !! sending warm thoughts your waY! |
What an awful time to have something go wrong the the heater. Hope the repair guy gets there soon. It's only 10 here today and the wind is getting stronger also. Do you have a space heater? Hope you have a warmer night. Carol & Buddy |
Still no repair guy!! No, we don't have a space heater, though a wonderful friend brought one over. There is definitely something wrong with the ignition switch. Still hoping to get it fixed tonight. Otherwise, we'll be bundling up and sharing body heat!!!!! |
Oh my gosh - I can't stand to be cold so I can imagine you're miserable. Stay warm, I hope the repair guy comes soon!! |
Sending warm thoughts and wishes your way!! It is really cold here too. Right now it is 5 degrees but we have a high wind which makes it -25 degrees.:eek: The have a advisory out not to go out much and be very careful if you do. Even all the local schools where cancelled because it is so cold. Luckily are heater works in the living room which is where we stay, and we also have a few electric heaters. So we are staying pretty warm but I can imagine how high our gas and electric bill will be!! I hope you get your heat fixed very soon so you all can stay warm in this cold weather!! |
I'm sorry you dont have any heat. I work for a heating and cooling company and I know we would have been there by now... No matter how busy we are. Some places just make me mad. Did you say it wont ignite??? You do have a standing pilot or is it and electronic ignition??? Check you filters and also make sure they are clean. Let me know what its doing?? |
Im sorry and I hope it gets fixed soon. Its cold here too and I have the heat up, The furnace isrunning non-stop and my water has been out for 2 days, Its not frooze its the pump it freezes up and dont work when it gets this cold, I had to send hubby to town again today to get water, and we all had to go to my daughters for showers last night. |

Got a call about 1/2 hour about from our heating guy. He should be out shortly. My BIL does some work with him and came over earlier today. It is definitely something in the ignition switch. He said it was dirty and he cleaned it. It is an electric ignition. It will fire up and run for a few minutes and then it goes out again. There is a part that needs to be replaced, but my BIL doesn't have any parts. I'm sure it probably needs cleaning , hubby says he hasn't changed the filters this year :eek: It just figures it waits till the absolutely coldest day out to not work!! Supposed to be below zero again tonight with highs in the low single digits again tomorrow with snow as well!! I wonder if all the schools will be cancelled again?! |
Well, our guy got here around 9:00pm last night. He cleaned everything out and within 15 minutes, the temp was up to 68 degrees. He thought the controller might need to be replaced, but didn't want to replace it until he was sure since the temp started to rise. About 4 hours later, temps started dipping again and we've been holding steady at about 63. So, another call this morning to replace the controller. Maybe someone today it will be comfortable in this house. The girls are staying in their flannel jammies and we're getting lots of use out of our blankies!!!! At least we have a space heater today, though the office is not large and is filled with stuff, so setting it up someplace safe is interesting!!!! |
It's Brrrrrrr over here on my side of the state this morning. All of the schools are closed. I hope you get it fixed soon. Nothing like going on a camping trip with kids inside the house!!!! Think warm thoughts. We have a High E furnace and for the exhaust there's a plastic pipe that goes out of the wall. There's a screen in it to keep the critters from going in. That screen will build up ice because of the vapor in the exhaust. It froze up 2 yrs ago and hubby was too busy delivering LP Gas to come home and clean it out to get some heat in the house. I took a hammer to the plastic pipe and when he got home the house was nice and warm and he had to go out and fix the plastic exhaust pipe. I fixed the furnace.... |
