Notes from Griesbach service calls
Griesbach is new housing on old ground. The former CFB Griesbach base was redeveloped from the 2000s on, and the homes built there have the standard modern package: a high-efficiency furnace, PVC venting out the side wall, an HRV, and often a power-vented or tankless water heater. Because the equipment is young, a Griesbach no-heat call is more likely to be a setting or a blockage than a broken part. Before booking, check the thermostat mode and batteries, make sure the furnace switch near the unit is on and the breaker has not tripped, confirm the blower door is seated, and look at the filter. Then go outside and look at the two white pipes.
If they are packed with snow or ringed with frost, clear what you can by hand. If the furnace still will not run, count the LED blinks through the sight glass on the blower door and include that count in your request; the chart on the inside of the door explains it. Many of these homes also have a tankless water heater, which needs a periodic descale because of Edmonton's moderately hard water. Owners here are starting to price AC and cold-climate heat pumps, and the tight construction suits both.

Before We Arrive
Four Things Worth Doing First
Some no-heat calls end at step one. The rest go faster when we know what the furnace did before it stopped.
Step 1: Check the Basics
Thermostat set to heat and above room temperature, batteries, the furnace switch and breaker, and a filter that isn't grey and bowed.
Step 2: Look at the Vents
From outside, find the two white PVC pipes. Snow drifted over them or a ring of frost inside is the most common cold-snap shutdown.
Step 3: Read the Blink Code
Count the flashes on the board through the sight glass on the blower door. The chart is inside the door. It saves diagnostic time.
Step 4: Send the Request
Community, furnace age if you know it, what it's doing and the blink code. We reply with an arrival window for Griesbach.
