1) I want a Hammond B3. It's been on my wish list for over a decade.
2) I paid the local HVAC shop hundreds of dollars over two years to "fix" my furnace. The problem was that it would not reliably light. It had a spark, it had gas. It wouldn't always light. The problem got worse when it was colder.
I paid for a cleaning. I had a guy convince me that I needed a new controller unit. (Which I swapped back and returned when it did not fix the problem.)
Then while putting the furnace back together after cleaning the spark unit, I noticed that it sparked right up when I pressed on the flame box, but the flame went out when it stopped pressing.
I essentially had a vacuum leak. A $5 roll of silver tape later, the furnace has been problem free for over two years.
