Morning Afternoon John & All from a frozen Southern Utah!
The current temp in the house is 64F, seems our heater has gone on vacation. I am surprised that it's that warm in here, since the outside low last night/this morning was 1F! It is now 16F and heading for 45F.
So I have the gas fireplace running and a couple of portable heaters.
I got hold of my new insurance broker to get me some cheaper house insurance since my old company upped my home insurance by $600 after I dropped my car insurance with them!
So I need to call my mortgage handler about the insurance.
Update: I got into the attic where the heater is located. After pulling off the covers, I saw the status light going off, so I checked the codes on the internet and found that a possibility was the drain could be plugged. So I grabbed my new DeWalt heat gun, and placed facing the "Drip" sensor, that I figured was frozen. After about an hour, I gave up and went across the street to my neighbor to help me with it. While waiting for him (he was painting, so he had to take care of that before coming over) I tried it a couple of times and still no joy! Once he got here, we both went up and was looking at it, while I explained what I thought the problem was. I then restarted it to show him what was going on, and it came on!
Apparently, it just needed a little more time to thaw out. After Randy left, I went back up there, to the sensor (it was exposed under the heater unit, to the open air) and put some insulation around it to help protect it from the attic air.
Pepsi has been had, already!
Anyone
, have a great day on the roads.... as long as they aren't frozen!
