What's the likelihood of a furnace blowing its fuse? I've been in this place 2 years now, never had a problem, thought my oil was out but I have plenty, turns out the fuse was blown. It's the only thing on the line to that fuse (and yes, I mean fuse, as in screw fuses, the oldschool kind), so I doubt it was overloaded, which means the furnace itself blew it out.

Any possible reasons for it? I had it maintenanced last year so it should be in good working order.

I'd replace the fuse and see if it blows again. If it does, have a look at the furnace, otherwise - shrug - who knows?

I'd only worry about it if it blows the new fuse also. But that's just me. I think fuses can just go bad over time.

Probably right on that, I did replace the fuse and it kicked in immediately, still running too. Almost to the point where I won't need it til September or October, but still I'd like to have it taken care of. Probably just call my landlady and have her bring someone in to fix it lol
