We have had a cold snap here the last few days. There is nothing unusual about that at this time of year, but it has been cold. We have had temps down to -19 below zero, and wind chills much colder. The reason I mention this is that the other problem with this has been our furnace. Generally, it works fine, but lately, especially in the middle of the night, it will shut off, and not start up again. I have awoken the last two, or three nights, in a row to a house that is at 60 degrees or lower. So far, we have been able to restart the furnace simply by turning it off and on again, but last night that took several attempts. I finally went back to bed, and the furnace came on a while later and warmed the house up. I think we have a faulty thermostat, but I'm not sure. I may have to break down and call a repairman. Maybe we'll just tough it out for the winter, and fix it for next winter. :o)
Stay warm, be safe. Stick.

I know it might seem like I live in a warm climate, and I do, but the humidity here is high, so even when it's not very cold temperature wise, it feels cold. I try not to turn on my heater much because of the expense, but when it gets below 50, we are too cold to function, so I have to turn it on!
Make sure your furnace is not shutting off because it is faulty...such as putting out carbon monoxide. :0+
Call the repair man---you have a faulty part that lets the gas flow!
One word..."BRRRR!"
Dee Ice, no gas flow, it shuts off the gas so that it is not burning at all. We think we have a faulty thermostat.
