No Heat! HVAC parts on a Sunday in OKC?

There is really not that much to a furnace. Out of curiosity Why do you think it is the board? What things are happening?

that's why my wood burning insert draws all of it's combustion air from outside. then a high volume blower forces inside air into hollow steel body handing off heat. it's one big heat exchanger

An open wood burning fireplace consumes a lot of excess air which is air that is in the house and has been heated to the present room temperature. This air must be replaced by cold, outside air. The net effect on the temperature of the house is that it gets colder by using an open wood-burning fireplace. You may be nice and warm next to the fire, but rooms away from the fireplace are getting colder as the outside air is drawn in to make-up for the excess combustion air that the open fireplace is using.

Unless you have a fan that directs the heat out into your house, it does. That has been common knowledge for years..

Google is your friend....

Yeah but not that bad, keep the fan on in the furnace, my living room is 72, bedroom next to the living room is the same temp, other end of the house is about 4 degrees colder,I compare that to the electric heating bill at 20degrees OAT I'm comfy. No fire right now and I have 10 KW on right now with the fan on, im pretty surprised at how well it's staying up
