I don’t guess I had ever given any thought to the oil furnace & what would happen if every one of us lost power, the oil furnace used oil as its fuel, & I didn’t guess electricity was used. When a sizable storm went through our section 2 mornings before Christmas, I was left with no power, & no heat, but i sat in the beach house shivering, & wondering what I was going to do. I called the Heating & A/C corporation, 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 annoyed, & chilly. I wished I had bought the space heating system when I first thought about it. The space heating system may not have warmed up our home, however it would keep me comfortable in 1 room. I looked around the house, & thought it wasn’t too late to purchase a space heater. I headed into town, however the apartment 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 chilly. I called the plumber to have our pipes repaired, & after that I called the homeowners insurance corporation. I had to have the Heating & A/C get our oil furnace running again, however that was the least of our problems. I was ecstatic I decided to go to our mom’s although I could have saved the pipes if I had bought that space heating system a month ago when I saw them on sale.
