The wife's mom has a gas heating unit and the thermostat doesn't work without power and neither does the blower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All I really know is that we had no power, yet had an abundance of hot air blowing through the vents. FWIW, our entire heating system is at least 60 years old, so maybe the air is blown up by some other means than an electric fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex1647545498 Posted December 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 Yeah that's true. She has one of those digital thermostats too so even if it will blow hot air up it's not going to turn on. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old dirty bastard Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 Only half of my power is on in my house graemlins/wtf.gif but thank god the furnace is working. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex1647545498 Posted December 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 Half? That's strange. Check the fuse box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wendemac Posted December 24, 2004 Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 We had been with out power since 6 am Thurs morning it recently came on around 4:20 am this morning. We have a wood burning FP & had installed a Gas Heater in the basement 2yrs ago. We made it through! Our son said the experience reminded him of the movie The Day After Tomorrow. Stay warm everyone!

I swear you and him have the lucky neighborhood, no one else has power (including my grandma, and she lives the opposite next street over from you). Shawn Jones hasn't had power either, and they've been battling flooding at his house since the sump pumps won't run. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex1647545498 Posted December 24, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2004 Oh man, I haven't even thought about flooding in basements. That's not good. I wish them luck. I guess Erica's mom's has 2 sump pumps. It's a big basement being a ranch and all. One of them seems to have a battery backup. Not sure how long that's going to last though. That house is still without power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

400 HO Posted December 25, 2004 Report Share Posted December 25, 2004 I had 3 inches of water in my basement until I bought Sears's LAST battery Backup Sump Pump. It took me 5 hrs to pump all that water out... some damage, but not too bad. It's still got some juice, so if anyone needs to borrow it, let me know.. 614-439-3550.

Tractor Posted December 26, 2004 Report Share Posted December 26, 2004 If you really need to you can bypass the digital t-stat or get one like mine that runs on batteries not A/C. the house should still heat even without the blower if the ducts were designed right they will use the tempreture variance as a pressure wave and air will flow. The blower just makes it much more effiencent. Evan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
