OK....I've got a NG Standing Pilot Burner furnace the size of a VW Beetle. Puget Sound Energy just happily announced a 13% cut in NG prices, stating the "average household" monthly charge would drop to just $82. BULLSHIT. I had my furnace OFF all July, and got a bill from PSE for $94- just to run the pilot. I've had the meter turned off all Aug and Sept., to see if they're prorating me. Anyway, it's getting cold, so I want to covert my furnace to electronic ignition, so there is no gas flow unless it's on. I don't want to grab my ankles for a 'guy' to come out and do it, so is there a retrofit kit type thing that I could do myself? I see some Honeywell valves on Ebay, and some kits, which don't seem to include the ignition side. I need the whole thing. I realize the dangers, liability, etc, so the discussion does not need to go that direction. Ideas? Thanks JR Dweller in the cellar
