Just in time for another stretch of single digit temperatures, our two-year-old high efficiency furnace decided to stop working. To their credit, the gas company -- who we'd bought the furnace through -- came out to look at it within a couple of hours of our phone call. That's the good news. The bad news is that the part that kicked the bucket was the igniter. As our tech described it: "a fairly esoteric part" that he didn't carry in his van. That led to an order from the warehouse to be couriered out to the house, which only took three hours.
Which brings us to now, a little after 9:00 PM, about 10 degrees cooler than usual indoors (not bad, considering), and a waiting game for the next tech to come out and finish the job. Fingers crossed we'll have a working furnace again before bedtime, otherwise there will be some serious piles of blankets to stay warm overnight.
Update: back up and running by 10:30. That's great service. Not sure how long it will take to warm up again, but at least it won't get any colder inside the house.
