Furnace was short-cycling yesterday afternoon. I figured it was the flame sensor so I took it out and cleaned it up a bit. Wasn't too dirty.
Put it back in and it worked for a little bit and then started short-cycling again. Motherfucker.

Flame sensor is about the extent of my furnace knowledge so I figured I'd have to call in a service on Monday. No biggie.
We have a gas fireplace that puts off a decent amount of heat so I told the wife to turn that on if she got cold. She did - and it ran for about 3 minutes and then the flame went out.

Well, shit. Headed outside to check the propane level - bone fucking dry.
When I woke up this morning it was 48 degrees in the house.

That tanker better get here soon or I'm going to burn the kitchen table for heat.

Hope so. They were supposed to do it yesterday but nobody showed.
I called again this morning.

We are set up as an auto-fill, so they calculate when you should be getting low. For the first couple of years I would monitor the gas level, but they were always right on it. Right around the 25% level they'd show up so I quit checking. I guess I'll go back to monitoring it again because this sucks. Luckily it's not too cold out today (43 and sunny).

Home temp up to 53.
