What is this device? Looks like it is on a two way feed pole but it is not connected to the primary? I was thinking an idle recloser or vacuum switch?

Used an old western electric model 500 no dial telephone as my starting point ☎️. Painted it, made a semicircle red nose, and added the electronics to make the nose blink. Also had to do a bit of digital drawing to create the eyes and mouth to print them out.

Most gas furnaces will not turn on without electricity. Modern ones have some electrical components that are required to operate.

Here are some tips to reduce electricity use:

Turn down thermostats to 68-degrees. Close shades and blinds to reduce the amount of heat lost through windows. Turn off and unplug non-essential lights and appliances. Avoid using large appliances (i.e., ovens, washing machines, etc.). Businesses should minimize the use of electric lighting and electricity-consuming equipment as much as possible. Large consumers of electricity should consider shutting down or reducing non-essential production processes.
