You may want to set that thermostat light up differently. If the power in the house goes out the heat is off and the light won't come on. I have one set so the light is on when it's warm and goes out if the temp drops too low. That way my neighbor knows if the light is off either the heat is off, the power is off, or the bulb has blown. Either way he needs to check it out.
