[SEL] I've got heat!

[Tony & Jackie]

Yeah these newer furnaces are sensitive to small irregularities in 
the electrical supply.  I installed a ceiling mounted natural gas 
vented garage heater a couple months ago and went round and round 
with it not wanting to work right.

Finally figured out that I had forgotten to tighten the screw on the 
ground wire clamp inside the heater.  The wire was in there and 
making contact, but apparently the heater didn't like the loose 
connection.  Tightened it up and have a great heater now.
