Stopping the heating goblin key to quality winte
I’m so thankful for the kindness of strangers.
Without good people on this earth, where would we be? I know that I would be paying crazy high heating bills again this winter. This is something I know for a fact because I had no idea how to prepare for a northern winter. I’m from out west where winter is just not a big deal unless you live in the mountains. Where I came from we had a heat pump and it came on now and again during the winter. So when I took a job on the other side of the country and way up north, I had no idea what I was really getting into. But man, did I ever get a quick rude awakening. We moved in the fall and I was immediately startled by how cool it was already. This was not a good sign of things to come. Fortunately, the previous owner believed in really good residential HVAC. The house had a gas furnace that was just two years old. The realtor suggested I get the HVAC company to do the heating maintenance which I promptly had done. But that’s all I knew to do. I had no idea how to prepare the house. So there were some spaces that were allowing cold air in and the heating to escape. That first winter saw the gas furnace running near non stop and yet there was such a draft that we were really cold that whole winter. Thankfully, a good neighbor straightened me out and we chased down that heating goblin together. It’s going to be a much warmer winter this year.
