jhameiaFor the last couple of days?
Heater's been blowing cold air.
Not a biggie, I have a teeny heater and if the girls upstairs don't like a hot house, that's their thing.
Turns out?
They HAVEN'T been turning the heat down, and are WIGGED OUT by this cool air from the heater. Came downstairs to see me. I report about the cool air. Neither of them like it. We check out the furnace. It's been clicking on and off intermittently, like it can't make up its own damn mind whether to be on or off.
We shut off the furnace breaker, which is in my apartment.
Then we turn it back on. The furnace is still clicking, and there's no warm air in the vents.
And.
There's the smell of gas.
WE SHUT IT OFF. We call the landlady, who tells us to call the furnace emergency line.
The lady on the hotline tells us that she can only book us for an appointment TOMORROW, between 4pm - 8pm. OH YEAH. THIS IS GREAT. We have NO furnace, I only have one little heater for all night long.
The landlady just told us she's sending someone from Union Gas over. Wish us luck.
ETA: Someome came to have a look at the furnace and got it running, but if it shuts off again (as it will when it hits the temp) we can't do anything. At the very least it's running for now and this might tide us over for until tomorrow when the repairman gets here.
