Yeap sure would.
Furnace blower needs power, boiler pumps need power

Basically standing pilot fireplaces are all that will work.

Most gas fireplaces are designed to work without power. Any built in fans obviously won't work but they will still radiate a good amount of heat.

You feel that a stores return policy is meant to be abused like this? :crazy:

Thanks bro. You saved me from saying it.
I remember a post last year bout a newbie who had a problem with the size of his tank and was all for abusing the system too. He went back and edited his posts than lied about it.

That's what I said.........standing pilot fireplaces will work, High end fireplaces/linear style fireplaces are electronic ignition for the most part and will not work

But I'm only a licenced gas fitter

I always procrastinate and end up running a cord out to the truck and inverter. :lol:

Me thinks its time to do something proper for this tank.

You can BUY a 900w generator for less than $100 and never need to worry about it again.

If $100 is too much, light a candle in the room for heat and get a battery air pump for $20 and your good to go.


I Got nothing better to do than abuse a store's return policy.
If there was a generator for less than $100 I would buy one. Haven't come across it.
I have a power outage once a year, if that.
Do I actually abuse refund policies like that? No. But this is Vancouver and ppl are always looking for the cheap way out so I thought I'd throw it out there.
You should go stand at the Costco return line if it bothers you so much. You'd love the people who return chips that don't taste good, or the flowers that didn't grow.

Just a special kind of cheap ass dirt bag I guess :) Sort of part time stealing, no?

Ya know, I can justify pretty much anything, but this is just something I can't make up an excuse for :) It's just wrong!
