Let's Warm This Place Up A Little
Stardate 4963.2
The furnace fan started making some noise a day or so ago. It wasn't bad, and really, I didn't think much of it. Yesterday, the fan started squealing off and on, and it got so bad last night that we had to turn the thermostat so low the furnace wouldn't come on to be able to get any sleep at all. The worst thing is, it is -20 out now, and I am missing work waiting for a furnace repair guy to come and bend me over with repair rates...
At least it isn't the heating elements, and I am pretty sure the motor is okay. Seems to be something with the fan drum in the back that is the problem, and sadly, I know little about taking furnace fans apart :( Last winter, we had to pay $300 odd bucks to get something else fixed on the darned thing. Looks like my gas rebate check will be going to this...
