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.
In a pinch you could turn the Halides on 24/7.. :mrgreen:
