So Maggie’s friend’s husband came over and looked at my furnace today and said there was nothing wrong. Not 100% sure what he did but it works (for now?) so I guess that’s all that matters. There was a scary moment though, on a whim I decided to go into the furnace room and I could smell gas! I was thinking about waiting till tomorrow to call the guy but decided to call Embridge as I didn’t want to take the risk.

The Embridge technician came by in about 30 minutes and inspected the furnace, he confirmed that there was a bit of gas which was probably residual from whatever work was done today. He was very thorough and actually found a small leak in the piping going to my water heater! It was small enough that you couldn’t smell it but his detector picked it so he tightened it with his tools. All in all I’m happy with the outcome, my furnace is fixed and there’s no leak anywhere now.
