local [project] Mazda 6s 6MT for sale. Linky below or in comments if interested.

So earlier in the week I posted a TurboTax commercial that made me LOL. I needed it because my furnace decided it didn’t want to work.

On a week when the high temperature was 11*F and low of -12*F.

I was able to maintain around 40*F in the house for the week, which means I need to replace a few windows when it gets warmer. I did sleep soundly being so cold. Had a tech come out Thursday afternoon. $97 service charge later, it turned out it was failed limit switch.

That only cost me $15 at Grainger to replace!

*I wasn’t going to wait to have a cheaper one online to deliver.

Things are back to normal now. But I’m still expecting to have to replace the entire HVAC system in the very near future.

Not gonna lie...I haven’t had a working furnace in 2 years. Long story. Thankfully being a small house it keeps tolerably warm with space heaters that are actually cheaper to run than the furnace was while I let life get in the way of figuring out what my solution will be. Glad yours was a quick fix.

(Furnace heated my downstairs so poorly that these two winters without it are the only years I haven’t had frozen pipes. So...)

It’s from the 40s or 50s, parts aren’t available, and it was built into a closet and won’t fit out again.

Since the floors are also ruined (unrelated), I think I’ll replace them and just run electric radiant beneath, and install a pretty gas stove to the hookup/chimney once I knock out the closet so I finally get my “fireplace.” But time/life/picking a contractor...
