Furnace failures

We have had the furnace lock out a couple of times while running it overnight in colder temps. I am pretty sure it locks up when the voltage is low. Every time the refrigerator cycles on there is a voltage sag at the meter. Not sure if the solution is better wiring, a second battery (only one 100 amp currently), or a less sensitive pcb on the furnace.

If it is so cold that we need the furnace on at night I'll turn off the fridge for now. Normally we don't need the furnace after we get in bed.

I did install a new thermostat for $14, which we like a lot. Analog is so much nicer than the digital one. We can reach it while in bed and just slide the lever Yay!
