My furnace stopped blowing heat the day of the Dolphins/Chiefs playoff game last year. Yes, the coldest day in the past 40-ish years. My thermostat showed 65 in the morning when I woke up so I knew something was wrong (I keep it at 70-72). By noon, it was down to 50. Due to the record cold, I wasn't able to get a "guy" out until the next morning, so I used a free comp'd night at the local casino to stay warm (watched the Chiefs on my phone at the desk in my room). I about froze my nipples off waiting for him the next day after checkout (thermostat read 28). The "guy" told me it was either the thermocoupler or the entire "board"...after a short 10 min. chat, he left my home 45 min later after installing a "board" and a brand new hot water heater. Mine was 21 years old, he had one on his truck ready to go, I said, screw it, let's get it done so I don't have to worry about it. I think it was like $1300 total IIRC.
