We have home warranty so made the call. Expect to hear within 24 hours from the contractor. Of course this is totally unacceptable from my wife’s POV, somebody should be here now.
It’s a Gas system (90 percent sure, don’t judge me). Any of you gents want to drop some knowledge?

He wasn’t impressed that I didn’t even know what unit it was or anything.

I keep my heat set to that all winter. Is it in your basement? I thought everyone that far south used electric heat pumps but you should be able to tell if it’s gas by there being a cast iron or yellow pipe going to it.
My heater cycles off when the filter needs changing (badly)

Sensible dad. get the most use out of the free slave labour. After all they've cost a lot more in upkeep than the cost of the labour saving equipment.
