This is absolutely not my kind of winter.
Where I come from, the two of us get both our heating and cooling from the same source, our heat pump.
But up here, you need a gas 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 Winter that I’m going to have to embrace for the next four or more than four years. I took a position and promotion that came with that sort of commitment. I’m cheerful to have the opportunity although I sure would enjoy a unusual 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 chilly that I’ve had such a strenuous time with. But now, this is my seventh full Winter and at least my lake house is much more comfortable. And I’m saving a lot of currency on all the heating costs as well. All it took was for myself and others to learn all about the importance of winterizing the house. The lake house I bought is older. And while structurally very sound, there were plenty of sites where the heating was escaping. That also meant the chilly was coming in and causing drafts that robbed myself and others 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 Winter prep checklist in order to tighten up my condo 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.
