Most people have to worry about their power going out plus losing heat during the cold winter months.
I don’t worry about the power going out plus losing air conditioning during the summer months.
That doesn’t mean I live in an apartment where you don’t need good heating during the winter, because I do. I love living up north. I don’t worry about losing power, because I have a small generator. Even with the generator, when the well pump goes out, I don’t have heat. Ed and I have a boiler system that produces hot water, plus it flows through pipes to provide heating to the house. When our well pump died, Ed and I had to call the plumbers to talk about getting a new well pump. Ed and I had no water, plus without water, my pal and I had no heat. Our boiler was trying to labor for almost 14 hours before my pal and I realized my pal and I didn’t have water. Ed and I were using the water that was in the overflow tank plus hot water from our water heater. Once that water was used up, the boiler was over laboring, plus my pal and I still didn’t have heat in the house. Ed and I not only paid for a new pump plus all the labor that went with having the seasoned pump pulled up plus replaced, but for a new boiler. Ed and I now have a new ductless Heating as well as Air Conditioning system, plus there is no further need for a heater or an air conditioning unit. The ductless Heating as well as Air Conditioning system runs on electric power plus as long as our generator works, there is no further need to go without heating or air conditioning. I need no further ductwork, plus no window air conditioning units.
