Well, I’m not a happy camper. Our furnace is out. Perfect timing, of course. It’s a late model central A/C – heating unit, a Payne (made by Carrier, I’m told) installed in 2001. I went up to the attic to check it out, thinking the pilot was probably out, or perhaps the thermocouple, and found out that it doesn’t have a pilot. It has an electric igniter of some kind.
Anyone know what this thing might need? A new igniter perhaps? I’m pretty pissed that we paid $4000 for this piece of junk and it survived only few of our exceedingly mild South Texas winters. The old pilot lit unit gave me trouble maybe once in the 16 years we’ve lived here. What, didn’t I pay enough? So much for “better” technology.
