Keeping the heat on

Most Furnaces have a carbon dioxide emergency shut off. If you are waiting for a repair man, this may help.

Our 20+ year old furnace vents about a foot off the ground. My husband kept this relatively clear last night, but fell asleep about 3:30 – at 7 we had no heat!

Once this happens we dig it out – use a broom handle to clear the vent – then reset the unit.

We go to the basement (open a window) and open the panel. For us it only takes a minute or two to reset the sensor and the unit kicks on.

And what were the dogs doing while we tryed to get heat in the house….
