    Pilot goes out after furnace cycles

    I just bought a Williams Furnace Natural Gas Direct Vent 1403822, it is about 4 years old. The pilot lights fine and then when the thermostat calls for heat the furnace kicks on just fine, but then when it cycles off the pilot goes out.

    need quick basement office-electric heat over uninsulated slab

    need quick basement office-electric heat over uninsulated slab

    with all the background info that I gave on my project, I never thought to include the fact that I always wear footwear, LOL. That said, if installing electric under floor heat is too expensive than those heated mats may be an option.

    Leaking air relief valve?

    Turning the cap did not stop the leak. Any other thoughts on how to 'band aid' til the AM? Tried turning off the system but not a real good option as it is still pretty cold - collecting the water in a garbage can so no worries there. Thanks so far to all who posted.

    Leaking air relief valve?

    Can anyone confirm what this leak is and if this is an urgent fix or something that an HVAC contractor can be called tomorrow for? It looks like a valve that would normally bleed off extra air?? It is spraying water. We are in the Northeast and have had extreme cold - but the basement has...
