You should double check your thermostat attachments if your power goes off at any time.
That’s because certain thermostats out there are really wired in instead of battery powered. If you don’t know which one you have, possibilities are your thermostat is wired in. If it were battery powered, then you would have had to change the batteries by this point. Anyway, a few weeks ago, I noticed that my gas furnace was not working constantly for some reason. The weather is still freezing around here and the snow is still on the ground pretty thickly. We had a cold snap that same night, the power went out all over the city. The temperature in the home became freezing fast. It was a great thing that we have a wood burning fireplace in the house. If we had not had the wood burning fireplace, I think that we would have frozen that night! We weren’t prepared to be without power, that’s for sure. Anyway, over the next few days, the power came back on but the home wasn’t heating up the way that I thought it should have. It turned out that there wasn’t something wrong with the gas furnace after all. The problem was really that we forgot to reset the thermostat after the power came on. I thought that it would just come back on and start to run the same schedule but it didn’t! If you have a problem with your gas furnace, check your thermostat attachments before you call for repairs.
