i could knit you a woolly hat...

 

[Tryharder62]

Sorry to hear that. Stay warm.

As to the supply chain, my camper has been at the camper dealer most the spring and summer waiting for the new brakes. It's too late. No camping this year!!

A couple good electric shop heaters are worth their weight in gold in your situation.

Get warm soon.

If it’s an older furnace a lot of them used the same boards. If you go to eBay they may have your board for sale.
There is a part number on each board.

And by the way, does the board have a blinking red light?

yep, there's a blinking red light. it's a gas furnace and i'm afraid to mess with anything involving gas hookups. i'll have to wait till they do it.

it once took me a month to get my car out of the shop because of supply and i was homicidal most of the time. i can't imagine having to wait that long without burning down the dealership.

2 hrs ago i dug my electric space heater out of storage. hopefully it will at least warm the bedroom.

The plumber just left my house. A new manifold for the hydronic floor in the master. Now, the closet floor will be toasty. The valve for the walk-in had failed and a new one was not available. So, the manifold was upgraded from mid-90's tech to 2021 tech. From brass to stainless. I'll have to watch the flow meters. Might be cheap entertainment.

If you have a blinking red light and they are telling you the board is bad I would disagree.
What exactly is the furnace doing it isn’t supposed to do or not doing that it should be?

 

[rae121452]

it just stopped working entirely. it's not doing anything at all.

Furnace guy. Lol.

If it has a blinking light and does not try to come on at all you more than likely need a wall thermostat.

i invent patterns as i go maybe wear socks? or ugg-style boots, or even get one of these to keep your blood circulating https://www.walmart.com/ip/Marcy-Ca...=sem&msclkid=73372f50e8931001da6a4edcad9d513d

thanks for the offer but i already paid the suckers for the new part and installation. i'm an idiot, i know, but then i usually am. i thought it would fix it faster.

it's really not so bad for me, i just wanted to whine a little bit. when i was in college i spent 2 years living in a squat that didn't have heat and in the intervening years in a number of buildings i was rehabbing that were the same. even when the furnace is working i keep it set on 52 degrees because otherwise i'm too hot. i just wanted to piss and moan to a captive audience.

When's the funeral?

i'm sitting shiva as we speak.

 

[AlexaHalo]

It is a shame you don't have a fireplace as a backup. Not good being cold

 

[coati]

Here in the desert, it's that time of year when I switch over from solar powered evaporative cooling to solar heating. Both are pretty low-tech, with no computer circuitry involved.

 

[Queersetti]

May it rust in peace.

So a casual affair. Much better. It would want it that way.

With the price of natural gas forecast to go higher, we bought 3 small electric units at Costco — turned the gas furnace off and the 3 little guys keep the house snug and warm. (not to mention that natural gas is a major carbon source adding to the climate warming.)

And your electricity comes from where?
