I replaced the thermostat.(3 times) For some reason, when it gets colder(night) it won't kick back on. The guy came out 3 weeks ago. It worked for 3 days(it was warmer). I just didn't have the money for him to come back. He'll be here Tuesday though! He didnt even find a problem last time. He sprayed it with cleaner.

replaced with same kind of thermostat or different?

wouldnt you be able to make the guy come back and fix it without charging you for the service call if it broke right away again??

Different brand and I went to digital (thermostat). The guy (same guy) came out today. Couldn't figure it out(again). He replaced the ? open limit lockout? I don't know. As he left, it worked(5pm). After it shut off, it didN'T come back on. I called hoping for an answering machine.No. I'm calling in the morning!
I don't have a basement. But I have seriously thought about taking an axe to the unit.

I called at 8am. He said can someone be there? I said yeah, I will. ALL day I waited. He never came. I called before 3 to tell them I had to pick the kids. She said ok. They still never showed up. Funny, It worked from noon to now. It's getting colder out, so it will quit any minute.

I'd complain. or is it just 1 guy? I'd be looking into baking...using the stove in case it decides to crap out completely.
