:cuss:Las year at this time I spent like $700 on this thing, it's only 10 years old!...I had a MM friendly guy fix it because the furnace is in the grow room,or vise versa, whatever, I'm fucked...I cant find his number, he just scribbled me a recipt on regular paper( no letter head) with his sig, which I can't read, his number was on another piece of paper...lol...and it's like 32 outside.Fuck me, just another hole in my sinking ship of life.

Whats the furnace doing? I've fixed mine a couple times :D
It's just blowing air, not warm air. It was a modual of some kind last time, the guy had to take all kinds of shit off to get to it.
We're putting in a fireplace ths spring...I have 20 acres of trees, many are already down ready to burn.
My homeowners insurance has a $1500 dedutible, and the room is a grow room, so I don't want them coming out anyways, even though it's " legal"...it gives them a reason to cut off my insurance, or raise it to a crazy rate, or call the popo.

I thought you were joking...lol. It's not like the home alone one....much more modern...but it is a big unit, from floor to ceiling, with duct running to all the rooms in the house. It heats up electricly and pushes the air thru the house via blower. And in the summer it does the same with air conditioning to cool the house. Kinda standard in America.

So its an electric forced hot air furnace and air conditioner? If its just blowing nothing but cold air i'd say something with the heating element...they do wear out after a while...I'd be ripping that bitch apart and testing stuff :D

I'm about to start...to bad I'm just a dumb bricklayer...lol...my only electic background is fixing power tools. and grow room set-ups.When my shed flooded I lost all my testers and little hand tools, slowly rebuilding my tools up. But I don't have shit to work on this ting.

It still has a pilot, there should be an ignition button for him to press somewhere.
It's weird on this new furnace...everything is inclosed. It's not tlike the old ones which you cpuld hold a button in, or light it with a match, I just bought the house in the end of '09...all my other furnaces were old and easy to work on....and the brand of this furnace is known for this prob., but the fix last year should of lasted another 10 years.

is it indeed an electric furnace?

electric furnaces don't have a pilot...its a heating element like an electric hot water heater, or electric dryer...the only thing that has a pilot is one running gas...oil burning furnaces use a transformer to create a high voltage arc that burns the oil as it passes near it :)

It sounds like an electric start furnace... Could be the starter eye has soot or dust in front of it. Should be able to get to it to see if that is the problem there mate. Good Luck getting the ol thing started.
