People In Glass Houses...
...get really cold when the furnace goes out. Yikes!
It got down to 5 degrees the night before last, and that was the night that the upper limit sensor on my furnace broke. When I woke up, it was 54 degrees in the house. When I asked my wife about it a little later, it was 52.
A couple of hours waiting, 15 minutes of work, and $160 later, I now have a warm house again. The diagnostic LEDs and the simplistic repair made me wish I had just bought the part and install it myself. It was just 2 screws and 2 quick disconnects. But, the guy did check a couple of things to make sure the failure was in the part and not a problem with the furnace. I wouldn't have been able to give myself that piece of mind.
The offending sensor is now sitting on the kitchen table with a festive bow on it. I'll be sure to put it under the tree.
