    I have news for you, my natural gas furnace doesn’t work when there is no power, either. Turns out you need electricity to ignite the gas, run a fan to exhaust combustion gases, and circulate air through the heat exchanger and ductwork.

      Just amazing that the thing I pointed out is true for you too! What are the odds?

      But does your fridge being unplugged for repairs impact your furnance running now?
