Anyone know if > there is a way to manually turn the heat on?   Can't say about your system. We have hydronic heat here (water-filled baseboard radiators, a circulating pump, zone valves and 24 V AC gas valve. The zone valves have a manual override catch that will lock them open. I guess that was provided in case there was hope of convection, but I doubt it would work on our system.   Some gas valves have a manual override to turn the gas on, but you'd need to be VERY careful to not overheat the heat exchanger without the line-powered fan or circulator.   What we did was disconnect the furnace from the hard-wired power and connect to a generator. It is apparently illegal to have a furnace fed from a plug, so we have to unwire and then rewire every power failure.   A gas-fired furnace doesn't draw very much electrical power.   Jon

"Peter W." <peterwieck33@gmail.com>: Feb 18 07:29AM -0800 We have a small 30A @ 240 VAC emergency generator. When it is in use, we run it to a 30A double-pole breaker in the panel, shutting off the main breaker at the same time. That will cover the freezer, refrigerator, boiler a few lights and other miscellaneous items as needed, without having to wire or unwire anything. The feed from the generator is 6/3 SJO cord, and the unit itself is grounded to a properly installed 8' ground rod. The three times we have had to use it for more than a couple of hours, it has worked nicely. Usually, we run a single-ended extension cord to our neighbors for their refrigerator as well.   Peter Wieck Melrose Park, PA
