There were so multiple added issues to deal with after I moved to the northern midwest. I was a southern guy to the very core of our DNA plus had never been in Winter time weather below 30 degrees, plus even that was extreme. I don’t know I’ve worn anything thicker than a sweater underneath a overcoat plus I had definitely never stepped foot someplace near snow, let alone see it or touch it. When I moved up here, I was shocked by the array of heating options, but very more shocked when coworkers explained the ramifications of indoor heat in our region each winter. I arrived in the middle of summer time so I had no clue what to expect. One of our coworkers said that people literally die from time to time because they can’t afford to heat their homes plus they’re found at some point frozen from hypothermia. Everyone told me to make sure our heating method was in toiling order plus is respectfully took care of from here on out. But, then I was even more perplexed when I looked into the array of different heating options available, from using water-based boiler systems in heated flooring to old university wood burning setups. There are more options available now than ever before. However, not all heating sources are equally efficient with the energy they consume in relation to the heat they produce. Plus, some sources care about forced air gas heating systems lose a lot of heat simply to chilly ductwork in poorly insulated attics. I opted to stick with the boiler method I have now which burns gas to heat the water. I don’t have heated flooring, even though I do have space heating systems in each room that are connected to the boiler.
