Stay warm.
Thermocouple.

If any older gas appliances - replace the thermocouple. Those appliances that have a pilot light. Some thermocouple last a long time.

The government has mandated no pilot lights for any gas appliances. All some sort of electric igniters now.

I still have one pilot 75,000 BTU hot air furnace with a pilot. Only broke down once - the thermocouple. Only parts in these older furnace is a blower motor, fan, and thermocouple.

The newer electronic ignition gas hot air furnace without a pilot in another building seems to break down every 2-4 years. Usually on a cold January Sunday.
