This is definitely not my kind of winter.
- Where I come from, all of us get both our heating and cooling from the same source, our heat pump.
But up here, you need a gas furnace or a boiler to deal with this sort of cold. So indeed, this is not ideal for me. However, this is the sort of Wintertide that I’m going to have to embrace for the next four or five years. I took a position and promotion that came with that sort of commitment. I’m happy to have the pick however I sure would like a strange location. However, I have to say that this region has a lot to offer. When I’m not inside the zone controlled Heating and Air Conditioning of the office, I do prefer this region. It’s just the cold that I’ve had such a hard time with. But now, this is my minute full Wintertide and at least my apartment is much more comfortable. And I’m saving a lot of currency on all the heating costs as well. All it took was for me to learn all about the importance of winterizing the house. The apartment I obtained is older. And while structurally undoubtedly sound, there were plenty of places where the heating was escaping. That also meant the cold was coming in and causing drafts that robbed me of comfort and rang up the heating bills. But after going to the Heating and Air Conditioning company’s website, I was able to download a Wintertide prep checklist in order to tighten up my new home and at least be comfortable inside this winter. Still, I’m looking forward to the day where I don’t need so much heating and when I do, the heating will come from a heat pump down south.
