Years ago when I was single and a rather new twonhouse owner, my furnace cr*pped out during a February cold spell, too. Was it ever COLD while I waited for the furnace guy

Hope your furnace guy made it to your house already

If you don't have a newer mid - high efficiency (sp) furnace and the pilot go's out and won't re-light, just steal the thermocoupler out of your hot water tank(It will fit) to get you through the night.

You have a newer furnace w/o a pilot light me thinks.

That was probably a power exhaust fan.

Good to hear you got it fixed.

In a pinch you could turn the Halides on 24/7..
