So I did all the advise, ie. hot water on tub, oven at 300c, borrowed some electric heater as well which heated the house temporarily.
Friend of a friend was a HVAC tech, so he came by...looked at the furnace, tested with jumper cable and it was firing...so he went through everything and found the problem...it was the air intake! It was clogged with frozen ice from the outside of the house. He said the air exhaust and laundry dryer vent steam was being sucked by the air intake which freezes easily because of the very cold temp.
Thanks all!
oops, I was going to suggest that one early on but thought you weren't all that keen on trouble-shooting it yourself, sorry about that :|...it was the air intake! It was clogged with frozen ice from the outside of the house...
Wow, glad you got it fixed!So I did all the advise, ie. hot water on tub, oven at 300c, borrowed some electric heater as well which heated the house temporarily.
