HVAC heating has changed but it’s still cozy

HVAC heating has changed but it’s still cozy

The home I grew up in really didn’t have anything that most people would consider an HVAC system.

  • There was this behemoth of a boiler in the basement for heat.

I mean that thing was the size of a small tank. It actually scared the pants off of me and I wouldn’t even get near it. However, the radiant heat that it produced was easily the most comfortable and cozy heat I have ever experienced. Walking into our home on a cold winter day was such a great feeling. It was like a warm blanket being wrapped around you just having that radiant heat. The heat was everywhere thanks to the radiators in every room of the house. There really is something about not having heated air blown through the house. However, an oil fired boiler system is a dinosaur when it comes to heating a house. I’m sure there are homes where it still exists. But I sure wouldn’t want to be paying the heating bills. I can’t even imagine how much that heating method would cost today. My home has a modern HVAC system. We use a furnace as our heating method. While it isn’t quite the same sort of luxuriant heat that radiant heat is, my house is warm. And, I can afford to pay the heating bills each month. Of course, we do our part to keep the utility costs to a minimum. That was not something that my parents did. I can even remember when the heat was a bit too much on a cold day, we simply opened a window. Can you imagine that? I would have a stroke if one of my kids opened a window in the middle of the winter. All I would be able to see is dollar signs going out the window.
