For HEAT! Woke up this morning to a house that was 65 degrees. Not a good thing when it's 40 degrees outside. Even Dominic, Mr. Hotbody, was chilled. I had noticed it at 3 am when I got up with Vivi, that it was chilly, but then again, I had been all nestled in my warm bed. So I didn't think much of it - plus I don't do much thinking at that time of night! So I had to call a repairman to come take a look. We had the same thing happen last winter and it was a fuse. Of course, on the weekends, labor is time and a half!!! So I just spent a pretty penny (or rather $200) to get it working again. Turns out it was actually the breaker, which he says is getting weak and will need to be replaced at some point. But he did find one of the connectors to our electric furnace all out of whack and was starting to overheat which could have eventually led to a fire! Yikes. He said it would have stayed contained but no mother with 2 little kids wants to hear that their furnace was a potential fire hazard! So he did fix that (hence the high $$$). But it was worth it. We are warm, fire free, and will remain in our satisfied, ignorant bliss until the next time.
