I still feel guilty about the time I was preoccupied with my older toddler and failed to notice my crawling infant innocently touching the still-hot fireplace.
My roommate and I used it to heat the living area in the mornings as we prepared for bedtime.
She cried for hours, and I did everything I could to console her as I was reprimanded for not paying attention and for continuing to use the heater. My friend and I had a boiler that was not functioning properly, and boiler repair did not help… The alternatives to the boiler were the fireplace and an antiquated heating system. The next day, my friend and I called the Heating, Ventilation, and Air Conditioning (HVAC) repairman to find out how we had extinguished the fire and what heating system and AC product would be best for our comfort and the children’s safety. Getting rid of the heating system and heating system upgrade that my partner and I no longer wanted was a lengthy process, but we were determined; luckily, the heating dealership assisted us in obtaining all the permits we needed to alter the house and complete the work. Then, my friend and I installed a hydronic heating system because we believed it to be more efficient than a ground-source heat pump. I quickly got over the fact that my coworker and I were unable to install a hybrid heating system, which would have been ideal. I was so excited about the radiant floors. The only thing we had to do more frequently than with the boiler was to plan for Heating, Ventilation & A/C repair, but luckily, the local heating corporation is close to our home, so my colleague and I don’t have to worry too much about it.
