I also had a plan in-place to take care of the tenants in this type of scenario (I have space heaters, generators, military blankets and other supplies on standby for emergencies)...but, without a plan in place, and the best HVAC pro in the business to respond at 6 pm on New Year's Eve, I would've been in deep trouble...needless to say, I gave my HVAC guy a serious tip for helping to save the day...In this case, the furnace could be repaired for about $1,250, or replaced for around $5k.
