And now the furnace has stopped working.
Technically, it's a boiler. Same boiler that we had replaced in 2014 and massively overhauled 2 years ago to the tune of $3K, including a new circuit board. That circuit board is now flashing ERR 64 and the radiators are cold. It is 62 degrees inside.
I called Midland Heating, the guys that fixed it in 2022. And to their credit, they did answer the phone right away and are sending someone over within the hour.
Fortunately there is a box of small electric space heaters in the attic that I purchased the last time this happened.
ETA: Josh came out and got the heater going again pretty quickly, but I'm not convinced it is fixed. He thinks there might be a problem with the OTHER circuit board, the one that controls all the moving parts. But after he tightened up all the connections it started working fine, so he just charged us for the house call and called it a day, with instructions to call right away if it happens again. Uh, right. If that happens, he has all the info he needs to obtain the part that would probably need replacing, so I guess that's an improvement. Anyway, the boiler is working again and the house is heating up.
