I still feel guilty about missing the crawling one innocently patting the still-hot fireplace while I was busy with my older toddler.
My best friend and I used it to warm up the living room in the afternoons before bedtime. She cried for hours, and I did everything I could to comfort him while I ran inside for not paying attention and still using the heater. My great friend and I had a boiler, but it wasn’t working well, and boiler service wasn’t helping, so our only option was the fireplace and a furnace that was as old as the boiler. My friend and I called the Heating & Air Conditioning repairman the very next day to ask how we could get rid of the fireplace and what furnace and AC product would be best for our comfort and the safety of our children. It was a long process to get rid of the furnace and furnace installation that my great friend and I no longer wanted, but we were determined. Fortunately, the heating dealership assisted us in obtaining all of the permits my great friend and I required to change the residence and complete the work. My great friend and I then installed a hydronic furnace because it seemed more efficient for us than a ground-source heat pump. I was so excited about radiant floors that I quickly forgot about my disappointment that my best friend and I could not have a hybrid furnace, which would have been ideal. The only thing we’d have to do more frequently than my great friend and I did with the boiler was plan for Heating & Air Conditioning maintenance, but fortunately for us, the local heating corporation is close to our home, so my great friend and I don’t have to worry about that.
