Now that the weather is nicer, I was able to finally turn off my boiler for the season, but this is part of my yearly Springtime routine to get ready for the warmer months; And here in Buffalo NY, we embrace the warmer months, and we take full luck of them.
Not only do we shut down our boilers, however we also open our windows to allow fresh air inside our homes… Right now, the temperature has been hovering in the mid to high 60s which is too moderate for the boiler and too cold for the a/c; So, my Heating and Air Conditioning component is getting a much-needed cut especially after the winter time that we just had.
My associate and I experienced unprecedented cold hot and cold temperatures plus catastrophic blizzards that crippled the village in ways that I have never seen. So, of course our boilers were running more than normal to keep our homes comfortable, unfortunately, during the last major snowstorm, millions of people were left without heat because they had no electricity as the storm caused major power outages; Fortunately, my family and I didn’t lose power during that storm, so we were able to keep our boiler running during and after the blizzard. Although numerous folks lost power, a lot of them were able to keep their homes moderate using their fireplaces. That’s one of the great things about numerous of the older homes here in Buffalo, they were built with wood-burning fireplaces. So, even without power, families can still remain comfortable by using their fireplaces to stay warm. Anyway, I’m hoping that this coming winter time won’t be a repeat of the last one, however for now I’m going to enjoy the nice weather that we are getting.
