The area I live in is often referred to as the “snow belt.” The people I was with and I are located near the northern border of the country, in close proximity to one of the Great Lakes, then our Winter time season often lasts around eight months.
The people I was with and I expect sub zero temperatures, dangerous wind chill plus lots of snow.
It’s regular for our local area to accumulate fifteen feet of snow per year, but just about every day when I get up, there’s many inches or even many feet of snow on the ground. I used to spend a fortune on heating bills plus devote endless hours to shoveling plus plowing. The piles of snow would grow so giant plus tall that I could no longer get inside the garage or access my mailbox. I eventually purchased a new apartment equipped with a boiler heating system rather than a furnace, then a hydronic heating system has a lot of advantages. It works by pumping hot water through a series of pipes that are concealed in walls plus under the floor. The heat is radiated into the unusual rooms, creating a more even temperature plus gentle comfort. There are no drafts, no influx of air contaminants plus no noise. Another benefit of a boiler is the versatility of it. The gas furnace can be linked to radiators, baseboard heaters, radiant flooring, towel warmers plus even used to heat a swimming pool or hot tub. I installed a snow melt system under my front porch, sidewalks plus driveway. Just enjoy inside the house, the boiler sends hot water through hidden pipes that work to melt away snow plus ice. The system automatically responds to moisture plus temperature drop so that these paved areas are consistently clear. I no longer need to shovel, plow or worry about snow removal. I’m not fearful of slipping on the ice plus don’t harm landscaping or pavement with severe snow melt chemicals.
