    Also, don't feel bad about missing that valve. Had one myself that had one of the safety switches on the drain that shut the air handler down. Turned out there was not enough slope on the drain allowing for a backup. Boy did I feel stupid!

    I was watching your last video thinking to myself that the gas valve was closed but then again I'm not an HVAC guy. Then I questioned my own sanity and thought maybe that's what an open valve looks like in Georgia. The valve was obscured by the vines though and it's easy to point out things when we had a different point of view and not under pressure of a call. Maybe you need to do these live so we can text you what you're missing ;-)

    The majority of no heat calls at this time of the year are for dirty flame sensors or restricted flue pipes. Birds nest in them in the warm months, leave the nest inside when they fly off. Believe it or not, some are human error. Someone changed a setting on the thermostat or messed up heat programming.
