A little background...a few months ago Alex and I were woken up at 2am with a terrible noise. It sounded like a train was going through the house. And when we went down to the basement to check out the furnace that is older than I am and I was afraid it was going to explode or something. Not a fun night since the radiators would make the noise every time the furnace would turn on. And for a couple days after that they would make that terrible noise. Then one day, it stopped. We were so happy that the noise stopped and we could finally sleep! However, we soon found out that the upstairs radiators were not heating up at all. This is not good since it was getting down in the 20's at night, and we were expecting a newborn and had six other small children that needed to stay warm.
Well, we bled the radiators many times over the next few months. It helped a little to warm the upstairs. And since the weather was staying in the 30s and 40s at night, I didn't worry too much about it. Then this morning. It was 10 degrees outside. Inside it was 60. Now that might seem warm, but it wasn't. It was just plain cold. And this afternoon it was 59 inside our house. So, instead of getting warmer, like it was outside, it got colder. So, I called in the professionals to come and fix the furnace. Turned out that part of the motor broke and was a quick and fairly cheap fix. Now we are warm again! I am so ecstatic! Even the radiator that has NEVER worked before is working now. One little fix! If I had know it wouldn't take too much to fix it, I would have done it a long time ago!
