On the subject of heat...

[Logan]

Our downstairs unit runs off of natural gas in the winter........it is a "gas pac", electric in the summer and gas in the winter. The upstairs unit is a heat pump, which is totally electric. We also have a wood burning stove as well as a kerosene heater. As long as my birds are warm enough, the rest of us will be fine, I'm sure. I'm trying to add layers and prep everyone to dress warmly because I do NOT want those units running constantly!

I have no idea...I turn the switch to on and hot air comes out the vents

We have oil (the front half of the house) propane (the back half) and three fireplaces. Probably next year we're ditching the propane and oil furnaces and installing a wood pellet burning furnace. (One heck of a lot cheaper than burning dead dinosaurs)

We have natural gas at home and at work. My parents have an oil burning furnace which heats hot water which runs through baseboard heat. They finally - after 30 years - had to install a new furnace at the end of last year. I haven't heard any complaints or requests to visit us yet, so I'm assuming the new furnace is working.

In the motorhome we have a diesel burner which heats the water, then the hot water is run through a radiator type thing which has a little fan behind it to blow the air, which was heated by the water, out into the rooms. We also have electrically heated tile floors and I absolutley LOVE them!!! If I was ever going to redo our floors in the house and put tile in, I would definitely add the heated part to them. It is soooo neat to be able to walk around on an all tile floor with no slippers. We don't have to freeze our tootsies when we get out of bed in the middle of the night - but don't walk too near the edges, or near the door because you'll realize just how cold that floor would be if it wasn't heated!

Heated tile in your motor home....oh how you toy with me

Isn't it something? We live in a pretty nice house, but in someways the motorhome has it beat by a long shot.

I am sure I have mentioned before how getting a motorhome would be my dream come true.... Hubby is not a camping guy though, when I take the kids out tent camping he doesn't go...although the motorhome may be easier for me it is a big commitment and with our cc&r's I couldn't keep it at home.

I really need to rent one sometime though.

We have a eletric pellet stove and a weird fire place thingy and a wood stove. the wood stove we never use unless it gets really cold.
