Sometime last night, my furnace stopped working. Now heating with fireplace and portable electric heaters. 
I swear I wasn’t naughty!

Sorry to hear that. What kind of furnace do you have in the Mojave Desert? Here in East Texas, 100% of my heating is done by wood stove.

The kind of furnace you need when temperatures get down to as low as 12 degrees outside! Fortunately only 39 last night.

This isn’t my first experience. About 15 years ago on Thanksgiving day, the SWIMBO goes to put the turkey in the oven. Oven won’t heat. Dead! Transfers turkey to a large combo convection microwave we had. About 20 minutes later that quits. Ended up finishing the turkey in the RV.

The relay that turns on our furnace failed on a Saturday afternoon. If we hit it with a screwdriver it would latch, but wouldn稚 work once it shut off again. Dealer couldn稚 get the replacement on a weekend.
So we had a dance for the next couple days. After house would cool to 62-66ｰ we would manually activate it with the thermostat set to 72ｰ. We had a couple of auxiliary heaters so we didn稚 have to reset for 6-12 hours.
Ours was an electromechanical unit. New ones are solid state.

As they say, the first guy doesn't have a chance. In the last two weeks: Computer died, $500 and counting. Furnace quit, $800. Hot water heater quit, $400 fix, new heater soon, price to be determined. Knock on wood.
