Last week, I went to visit my sister in another state.
She lives far up north, just about as far north as you can get in our country.
Of course, the temperature up there where she lives gets much colder than it does here where our house is. We don’t really even have to worry about running the furnace often. As a matter of fact, we only run the furnace three or four weeks out of the year when the temperature outside starts cooling off more than normal. Last week, though, I went up north to see my sister and the weather was so cold there! She assured me that the heating system in her house would be able to handle the freezing temperatures outside, though. It’s the opposite at her house than it is at mine. They barely ever run the air conditioning system but they run the furnace almost all year long. On top of that, she also has a couple of wood burning fireplaces in the house and several space heaters for the cold spots and the garage. Not only does she have a high efficiency furnace and some fireplaces, but she and her husband installed radiant heated flooring in the bathrooms and bedrooms a couple of years ago. This was my first experience with radiant heated flooring, and it was amazing! It almost makes me wish that I could move to a colder climate just so I could have radiant heated flooring in my house, too! My sister loves her heating system and she says that she always feels warm and cozy in her house when the thermostat is turned up.
