I’m getting rid of a lot of old appliances that no longer work and they used to.
I started with my refrigerator after I put a thermometer in my old 1.
I discovered that the old fridge was only getting down to 45 degrees inside, which is high enough to spoil raw meat and other perishable food. It made a big difference getting a brand up-to-date fridge with up-to-date circuitry and design. I did the same with my old oven and found similar results. Before long, I started thinking about replacing other old appliances in my house. I considered getting a up-to-date washer and dryer, however then a better idea came to mind. Since I live in a region that sees frigid weather in the Winter time season, having powerful and efficient indoor heat is important in staying comfortable from September until May every year. My electric fan-forced gas furnace isn’t powerful, nor is it energy efficient. Instead, I could replace it with a up-to-date boiler idea that provides on demand radiant heat through the transfer of tepid water. You have radiators upstairs in varying places that are sent enough tepid water from the boiler to reach whatever temperature you select on each thermostat. This heating idea bypasses the need for ductwork and all of the energy waste neighbord with ductwork. I can also provide most people in the family the power and freedom to adjust the heat to their liking in their own living rooms. Having a hydronic setup is a big improvement from an electric fan-forced gas furnace. Eventually all of us might get radiant subfloors if all of us decide to swap out the existing ceramic stone with hardwood anytime in the next few years. For now, the on demand heat via the radiators is more than enough to keep us cheerful.
