I have neither of those... We have hot water baseboard, I actually prefer my parent's setup, they have nice big cast iron baseboard heaters, they heat up nicely and hold heat well radiating it over time. The only thing I like better is radiant floor heat...
Scorched air has such a spread, gets the house all hot and scorched smelling, then waits until its cold and has to bring it back up. A good steam radiator system (my wife's grandparent's house is the nicest steam system I've ever seen) is way better... BTW Randy, you tell us how COLD it is in Winnipeg and then worry about having AC? You only use it for like 2 hours a year right? ;) Seriously we only need AC maybe 2-3 weeks a year, a window unit is plenty adequate, I can't see my ever paying for central air. Then you have to pay to maintain it, clean the ducts, clean the condenser/evaporator etc. We've got a "window" unit mounted in the wall. This time of year I spend 1 hour putting a tarp on the outside and a quilted cover over the inside and 1.5 hour in the spring removing the covers and vacuuming everything and for our house it works great. Of course as we've discussed several times in the past my wife' and I are pretty tolerant of temperature... -Curt Date: Sat, 3 Dec 2011 14:37:41 -0500 (EST) From: relng...@aol.com To: mercedes@okiebenz.com Subject: Re: [MBZ] Heating Message-ID: <772.528d7792.3c0bd...@aol.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" > ....my grandmother's house has scorched air.
