My heat pump isn’t doing well.
It's noon here in Charlotte, NC and it has warmed up to 28 deg.
I just got in from another marathon run of blowing and shoveling out here in the wilds of NH and I can tell you on thing: I’m sick to death of it and it’s only the beginning of January!!
It’s 17 degrees here in Kentucky.
I heard the earth has a fever...How could this be true?
Must have been paid for by the Energy companies!!!!
My wood furnace has been going non stop since Sunday here in Missouri.
Wood heat 7200 BTU per pound.
Burning wood emits no more co2 than decomposing wood in the forest, per pound.
So wood burning for heat is more environmentally friendly that using coal fired electricity to heat with.
Use that fireplace!
