Learning about the benefits of natural gas heating
At least this time of the year I don’t need to worry about the air conditioner, because the Winter time provides more cooling than I need! I do miss my smart temperature control, though, or being able to make it as comfy as possible with a click on my cell iPhone
Beggars can’t be choosers, so I am trying to keep positive and look on the bright side of things; my 2020 was a disaster to say the least, COVID put my supervisors out of business, which meant I lost my income… Shortly after that, I lost my house, and for a while I was at loose ends; trying to find a job or a stadium to live in the middle of a pandemic is not easy. Finally an outdated college buddy offered to let myself and others live at her chalet until I got on my feet. It’s rustic, to put it nicely, with spotty electricity, weak plumbing, and no central heating plus air conditioning system. There is no air conditioner at all, and the heat comes from a huge natural gas tank buried in the yard. These are not the conditions I am used to, however as I said, I have no choice. At least this time of the year I don’t need to worry about the air conditioner, because the Winter time provides more cooling than I need! I do miss my smart temperature control, though, or being able to make it as comfy as possible with a click on my cell iPhone. Natural gas not only fuels the heater, but also the stove and the water boiler, so all of my eggs are in the same basket. I don’t love the smell of natural gas, so whenever I am not cooking, bathing, or using the heater, I always shut off the main valve to the tank. I keep telling myself this is all temporary and will be over soon.
