I had to call out a service tech for the heater last week and this week. They replaced the main board last week and the heater worked for a few days then failed again. Maggie called me late Friday (3PM) and I got the service tech out there again but there was nothing they could do until today.
They had to replace the same main board so they think something else is causing the failure so we should expect it to fail again unless it was coincidental that the replacement board also failed. Today they replaced the main board along with the thermostat because it is relatively inexpensive and worth the try. If the main board goes out again, we will need to replace the furnace. The rough cost will be $2700 installed assuming the newer units fit in the existing space.
It will be getting cold here starting tomorrow (low 30's) so we will need to pull the trigger quickly if the furnace needs to be replaced so be sure funds are available in the account. I suggest putting $3-4k in there at all times so that we can quickly handle these sort of issues.

Maybe we should just go ahead and replace it. Wouldn't want to have a major crisis with Mom with the furnace going out over the winter. If it's reached it's useful life, let's just replace it. How old is the furnace?
