are you a licensed at re-lighting pilot lights on a furnace???

[krisamata]

if so i need you desperately, mines been out for 2 days and i cant do anything....no laundry, no hot shower and no dishwashing (without bowling water first)


i dont wanna pay the 95 that terasen charges to come out


help if u can!

[Chewy]

i hope your gas is turned off .. im sure if it was out for two days and gas was leaking you would have noticed my now... take off the cover and look on the inside .. sometimes there are lighting instructions on that..

[krisamata]

hot water tank sorry...wrong thing



ummmm there is no smell of gas so thast good, but im too nervous to do it myself

There is a way of doing it on your own......If I remember correctly there should be instructions on relighting it either on the furnace or near it......I found this on the net:
If your pilot light goes out
Most natural gas appliances with pilot lights are designed to shut off automatically if the pilot goes out. To relight the pilot, follow the manufacturer's instructions (usually located on a metal plate near the furnace burner or gas controls). If it fails to relight, turn off the manual valve in the natural gas supply to the furnace and call a qualified gas contractor.

NOTE: Many newer gas furnaces do not have a pilot light. Check your owner's manual.

Though don't go off just me....last thing I want is you to blow your self up.....I suggest going with what ever the majority of ppl say

i just looke at my tank... it has lighting instructions right on the front on a big label... if you follow it set by set i think it should be do-able

[krisamata]

i just dont know if its safe after being off for a two days, some people say yes others say no.

i dont wanna blow myself or my house up

i wish my daddy was home

There should be instructions on the hot water tank...I lit one last winter...

[krisamata]

Man that sucks.....we had ours blow at work not too long ago......it's really a painin the ass

[krisamata]

^^^ ya its even more of a pain when you have to take the day off work to get a repairman out here, he gets here, doesnt have the right size tank, it wont fit in the space alloted


so then you spend 4 hours on the phone trying to find the right one, while trying to communicate with parents who are in mexico to find out if they are willing to spend the money on the one i finally found, and then finding out that guy cant come out till the day after



fuck.
