Years ago when I was single and a rather new twonhouse owner, my furnace cr*pped out during a February cold spell, too. Was it ever COLD while I waited for the furnace guy :sad:

Hope your furnace guy made it to your house already :smile:

If you don't have a newer mid - high efficiency (sp) furnace and the pilot go's out and won't re-light, just steal the thermocoupler out of your hot water tank(It will fit) to get you through the night. :)

You have a newer furnace w/o a pilot light me thinks. :)

That was probably a power exhaust fan.

Good to hear you got it fixed.
