I'm currently typing with mittens on, because the furnace has decided to go on strike.

I *think* it's the flame/heat sensor, or the thermocouple- I hear the igniter kick on, run for 5 to 10 seconds, and then it shuts off without actually heating the house.

We've been having this issue since the weekend- I have changed the furnace filter, changed the batteries on the thermostat, and have checked all the thermostat settings, with no change.

The husband is out of town for a while, and I'm not comfortable attempting repairs on my own, especially when I've never had to do it before.

So- who would you recommend?
