I grew up in the northern section of the country where the temperature gets pretty cold while in the winter season.
And when I was a child, our apartment was consistently sizzling and toasty in the colder season.
All of us used a radiator that was connected to a boiler as our heat source during the winter. Unfortunately, the apartment that we lived in did not have central heating or cooling. In fact, most houses and buildings in the town did not have central heating or cooling equipment. When the houses and buildings were constructed, central heating, ventilation, and A/C was not a usual thing placed inside those homes, along with the radiator that we used for heat in the winter. We had window A/C units that we used to keep cool in the summer months. Back then, life was much simpler, and I was grateful that my apartment had heat and A/C. I have since moved out of that city, so I have been using a central heating, ventilation, and A/C component ever since. And of course, it’s a luxury to have a cooling and heating unit in my home. For many of those residents that still live in the town that I grew up in, they don’t have the same luxuries. In fact, unless the building or beach apartment is a newly built structure, chances are the residents are still relying on a radiator for heat and a window A/C unit for cooling in the summer. When you live in the city you get used to those options, as it wasn’t until I moved out that I realized how much more comfort a heating, ventilation, and A/C unit provides for a home.
