We decided not to put indoor heating and instead we have several fireplaces throughout and a few gas and electric heaters. I prefer it that way. We have a big house because we entertain quite a bit but during the day it's empty<br /><br /><a href="http://aqscomfortmn.tumblr.com/post/141299754870/common-furnace-repair-issues-gas-operated-furnace" rel="nofollow">Andy Jones @ AQS Comfort</a>Andy Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12192105425928756643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5785052391761134022.post-78797671301831669962016-02-18T02:46:32.693-05:002016-02-18T02:46:32.693-05:00We bought a house in North Florida and i was so gl...We bought a house in North Florida and i was so glad that we got a fireplace installed. The hot air heating systems down hear are trash, and when the temps in February dip to 30, I simply drop a few logs on the fire and house is a toasty 70 degrees. I would not be able to save money without my lovely fireplace.<br /><br /><a href="https://chimchimneyca.wordpress.com/2015/12/15/chimney-sweep-services-necessary-fireplace-overall-home-safety/" rel="nofollow">Carry Scanlon @ Chim Chimney</a>Carry Scanlonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04481404452074035334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5785052391761134022.post-29226211398088050222016-02-08T19:54:12.048-05:002016-02-08T19:54:12.048-05:00That sounds lovely!

I grew up in a small apartment in the Silicon Valley - where it was almost always 70 degrees. It was such a refreshing experience to sit in front of the fire after a hard day's work.<br /><br /><a href="https://buchananlpgasgplus.wordpress.com/2015/11/17/when-it-comes-to-gas-logs-using-propane-gas-is-the-better-option/" rel="nofollow">Lindsey Mckenzie @ Buchanan Fire And Outdoor</a>Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05917446755932764714noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5785052391761134022.post-29377751436215329682016-01-25T11:14:45.266-05:002016-01-25T11:14:45.266-05:00We have fireplaces here in So Cal.

I even had one in my little one-bedroom apartment, the first place I lived alone, and it was a major feature of the town home I bought back then. I had a gas log in the condo and used it all winter.<br /><br />On the other hand, my grad school apartment in Indiana had no such feature.<br /><br />The one that intrigues me is covered parking. All my apartments in CA--even the college ones--had a covered parking spot. In Indiana no one in apartments had covered parking.Wendyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15399916226004495031noreply@blogger.com
