FEBRUARY:

-Church gas furnace will not light. Discovered the heat pump is primary and the gas furnace is back-up/emergency only. It should not light unless the circuitry calls for it. You can force it to come on by placing thermostat into EMERGENCY Heat. You must reset the system to heat later or it will heat the church to 91 degrees, 24 hours a day until you run out of propane… LESSON LEARNED!
