Last evening as I said good night to our youngest two children as is our habit I went to flick the thermostat switch to turn the fan on for the night. WE use it for the combination of air circulation and the kids have grown accustomed to falling asleep to the hum of the fan.
I was puzzled by the fact that nothing happened when I moved the small lever to on.
Then it hit me ...... First thing yesterday morning I had turned off the furnace at the breaker panel to be able to check the fan and element area out as I hadn't looked in their since early fall.
I hadn't remembered to turn it back on. That is the mistake part given that the temperatures outside yesterday were well below freezing... Like 15 degrees below.
Between our South windows and our little woodstove we didn't even notice that the furnace was off.
Maybe I should make this mistake more often.
