It's not working, It may work.

Okay you start off your day by trying to mircowave a tv breakfast but it is not working. Could it be something minor?  It could be. The main problem with appliances and electronics these days are the computer chips inside them and they can get confused.

For an unworking mircowave unplug it for a while and plug it back in and also make sure the plug is not loose and see if that works.

On laptop computers if there is nothing but a blank black screen scaring at you try this : Turn the power off on your computer, if the display lights are still on after a while remove the batteries and leave it that way for at least 6 hours and then reinstall the batties and turn on your computer and see if that works.Important give it ample time to boot up.

Now sometimes windows update will blank the screen but if it is way too long follow the instructions in the previous paragraph.

If your enegry efficient furnace blower is too fast and just blowing cold air try this : If you have a on/off switch near your furnace turn the furnace off for at least 20 secords or more and turn it back on.See picture. If there is no switch near the furnace you may have to go to the circuit breaker box or fuse box and turn it off   from there.

But remember if the weather is way too cold some furnaces just can't keep up.Read on...


Okay so what is a therm ?  A therm is one cubit foot of gas.
Now sometimes enegy efficient motors will run contintinually but the motor will take no more electricity  than a 100 watt  light buld.The flames in the burner are not knee high as the old furnances.

Assuming your electirc cost 10 cents per kilowatt hour the motor will cost you a penny for every 100 hours or 1/100 of a cent per hour.

It is the gas and oil that costs. Usually my bill is about $230 a month which is not too bad for winter especially since I have enegry assistance and budget billing from my ele/gas company ,so I won't have to make any payments until February (Catch up month)which is usually around $200.
 The above figures are base on my 80% enegry efficient furnace.
