Have had another repairman here for the last 3 hours after I called the first guy's boss.

Now the thing needs a new something or another.

Upshot...no heat or hot water.

Yep.

This one knows what he's doing. He's a retired Navy Boilerman ... :yahoo: :yahoo: :yahoo:

He's ordered all new main things...ignitor, pressure valve, circuit board, etc....the new thermostat that the other one put in is not even right. The other company is paying for it all. The ignitor and circuit board or whatever it is...have been replaced in the last year -18months. Whatever the other guy did....caused everything else to go kerflooie!!!!!

Stuff may be here tomorrow, otherwise on Wednesday. Still no heat downstairs.

Kids showered over at son's friend's. M washed his hair in the sink and did a "ho" bath. Guess it's my turn next.   :brrr:

Oh, I feel your pain! Reminds me of the time our power went out for 4 DAYS.  Since we have a well, we had no water period!  I was a raving loon...

I really hope you get your hot water by tomorrow. :(

Oh MY! Sorry debk but let me say I am "the heat guy" and the reason you have this problem is NO ONE WANTS THIS JOB! You just cant find good people that want to work long hours in the freezing cold 9-16hrs a day 6-7 days a week nights weekends and holidays! I have been doing this for 33 years and I'm the guy they send out to a cust like you that all the young goofs cant fix it cause they just want to go home. I was out yesterday for 11 hrs. in 40mph wind and spitting snow with a wind chill of 2. Three homeowners were told "sorry there is nothing I can do for you at this point, your pipes are frozen ,so call a plumber and good luck" Wait till they get that bill! I have resorted to plead with people "Hey you live in the northeast it gets COLD here, you cant risk your home on us, whats you back up plan?" Its always warm at my house, I heat with wood. I have an oil boiler as a back up and I have electric heaters to back that up and if all else fails I have kerosene heaters. Hell would have to freeze over before I live the disasters I see every day in the winter! Sorry I'm just sayin.

For years we were hurricane prepared, not winter weather prepared.

I saw an ad on the local channel today for anyone needing a plumber the next few days. He's charging a flat $45 to go to your home.  The last time I called a plumber I about wet my pants.  I thought he was kidding when he quoted a price.  He wasn't.

I feel for anyone having plumbing problems they need professional help with.  It's hooker prices.   :-)

The original company has already said they would pay the bill of the company they called in.

I wouldn't be so pissed if the first guy had just admitted he didn't know what he was doing when I asked him before he started if he knew what he was doing.

Cats....my heat upstairs works, I have a gas log fireplace and there are a couple of large space heaters in the garage. The heat is not the main issue. The lack of hot water is. We have a Lennox natural gas radiant heat system....there are water pipes all under the first floor to heat it, and the furnace is also water heat. Upstairs is a huge Lennox heat pump system.

I want a hot shower!!!

That sounds like it should be an easy fix. Maybe you need a new company? Although that name "Lennox"? "At a boy Dave" I call them! Sometimes parts are hard to come by.

Monday didn't end as well as it started out for me yesterday.  Somehow a virus got through everything and was running up my processor usage to incredible levels.  Had to reinstall the Operating system on order to get the damned thing quarantined off and then deleted from my computer.  Spent 5 hours last night re-installing everything.
