I was able to get our oil furnace running, however it didn’t help to keep our pipes from cold
I don’t guess I had ever given any thought to the oil furnace & what would happen if both of us lost power. The oil furnace used oil as its fuel, & I didn’t guess electricity was used; When a giant storm went through our area more than one days before Christmas, I was left with no power, & no heat. I sat in the home shivering, & wondering what I was going to do. I called the HVAC company, however they said there was nothing they could do to get our heat back on, until the electricity was turned on. I sat in our house, & I was angry, & cold. I wished I had bought the space gas furnace when I first thought about it. The space gas furnace may not have warmed up our home, however it would keep me comfortable in a single room. I looked around the house, & thought it wasn’t too late to purchase a space heater. I headed into town, however the home center was closed because they didn’t have power either. I ended up going to our mom’s home, & staying there until the electricity was restored. I was able to get our oil furnace running, however it didn’t help to keep our pipes from cold. I called the plumber to have our pipes repaired, & then I called the homeowners insurance company. I had to have the HVAC get our oil furnace running again, however that was the least of our concerns. I was cheerful I decided to go to our mom’s however I could have saved the pipes if I had bought that space gas furnace a week ago when I saw them on sale.
