It’s funny that I mention it here in this article about selling the furnace when you certainly won’t see this till it is already sold.
Well, I have an old space gas furnace that my mom would use to keep warm while she was down in her office working.
It is one of those gas oil furnaces which has the coils that turn red when it is warming up. You can smell the burning odor of the coils as it heats up, which is kind of nostalgic for me because I used to rest in front of it when I was a child so long ago. We had a fireplace up in the room that we would use often because there was no central heating in the home at the time. I had to haul the wood in when I was little and I was so weak that I could only carry one piece of wood at a time up the stairs to the study room. It would take me half an hour to bring up the twenty pieces needed to warm the home for the evening. It was great exercise, so much more than how it is now with the electric heating and smart thermostats. I am blissful to have such a convenient HVAC program nowadays because I am older and I don’t think our back would do so well with hauling up all of that wood each afternoon. My mom is gone now but her space furnace lives on if anyone wants a piece of old American HVAC engineering.
