It’s funny that I mention it here in this article about selling my gas furnace when you entirely won’t see this till it is already sold.
Well, I have an old furnace that my dad would use to keep warm while he was down in his office actually working. It is one of those heating systems which has the coils that turn red when it is warming up. You can smell the burning smell of the coils as it heats up, which is kind of nostalgic for me because I used to stand in front of it when I was a child so long ago. We had a fireplace up in the family 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 family room. It would take me half an hour to bring up the twenty pieces needed to hot the home for the night. It was good exercise, so much more than how it is now with the electric heating and smart control units. I am glad to have such a convenient HVAC system nowadays because I am older and I don’t think my back would do so well with hauling up all of that wood each afternoon. My dad is gone now but his area furnace lives on if anyone wants a piece of old American heating and air conditioning engineering.
