Heat went out and temperature is dropping fast!

[Thegreekone]

Heard some squeaking and it stopped. Didn't think anything of it till I start to feel unusually cold. Checked thermostat and temp was at 63 and dropping fast.

There is ambient heat and the furnace is produce heat, just not blowing any hot air.

3:07 am, 19 degrees out and temp is in the high 50s. *F* me!


Waiting on call backs from places.

Any HVAC guys with a suggestion or two would be awesome!

I know, BOTL is where all the HVAC guys hang out at 3:00AM.

Did I mention the cold? :cryloud:

Sucks, bro! That happened to us last year. Find a 24-hour Walmart and get a heater--I'd recommend the oil-filled kind as they're safer and more energy efficient. We bought one they're for a very reasonable price. SAMs or Costco are good too.

Dude, I am freezing cold. Waiting on a return call, its now 17 outside and dropping fast in here. Sleep is not an option.

Just miserable....

Man, this JUST happened to us over the weekend. Like nj said, the oil filled, radiator style heaters work great until you get it fixed. Our problem was the ignition switch. Open up the panel and take a look. Ours has a trouble light that'll indicate what the problem is.

 

[SuprHasan]

I can't even imagine that sorta cold! Sux that it happened in the middle of the night!
Hope you're up and running soon!

 

[Baldanders]

Sucks,hope its fixed soon. Happened to us last year. Had all 5 of us sleeping in the living room with the pellet stove turned up full blast.

 

[BEN(SWEDEN)]

Damn, I hope you can get it fixed asap! You need to smoke a cc and drink some hot chocolate.

 

[Wink]

Sorry to hear that jack, as for me when a problem comes up of this sort. I take things apart and put them back together, sometimes I win and sometimes I lose won't hurt to try.
Could be something small? Best of luck Jack!

Holy crap, man ... you REALLY should run to Walmart like now and get a heater or else your pipes might freeze and burst ... that's an expense (and mess) you wouldn't believe.

Man, this JUST happened to us over the weekend. Our problem was the ignition switch.

That's just what was wrong with ours. When the guy came to fix it, it took him all of 10 minutes and he tossed me this little plug-thinger and said "bad switch" and I was like "you've gotta be frickin' kidding me!"

For some reason I felt like an @$$ that we froze our butts off for two days over such a quick fix.

 

[ciggy]

Damn bro...Try Sears too. They also have Heating and cooling specialist that do emergency house calls!

 

[Alwayslit]

Jack, keep your faucets dripping til you get heat so they don't freeze. Sound like the blower motor on your furnace is gone. Hope your able to get it fixed soon.

 

[BEN(SWEDEN)]

Blown pipes are not good. I hope you have got this situation resolved by now. Keep us updated.

 

[OB-Left]

One dripping faucet, will take care of most of the house. Pick the one away from water entry. Other than that, the buying a heater suggestions are good.

 

[BesstR]

Good luck brother get a oil filled heater like mentioned before. Hope it gets running soon.

 

[Thegreekone]

Cavalry is here. Blown motor. Cool easy-going guys who know their shit.

Less than 300 bucks, all in! :thumbsup:

I'm still cold!

FLIP THE SWITCH ALREADY!

 

[iCraig]

Excellent. Get some hot coffee/cocoa or something. Gonna take some time to get the house warmed up. I recommend flipping the switch on and then sneaking out to the B&M for a morning stick or two while the house warms back up.

Very important advice here, if it gets near to the freezing mark you man want to consider just turning the water off and emptying the lines until you receive help.

Okay apparently I chimed in a little late, good to see you're getting the help you need

My advice, don't light a BBQ inside to stay warm

Just kidding. Good luck with the situation.
