I feel like winter is finally here due to the temperatures.
The temperature is -34 with wind chill.
This winter has been very mild and we have been very lucky since we have not had to snowblow our driveway or sidewalk at all this year. However with these very cold temperatures we have had to use multiple ways to heat our home. This is the coldest temperature that we have experienced ever. To keep our home very warm we wanted to use our pellet stove and furnace. We have not used our pellet stove at all this winter. We have over two tons of pellets stored in our basement that are untouched. We decided that this weekend would be the best weekend to turn on our pellet stove. With the pellet stove running and furnace our home has felt very warm. We had company over for a winter party and we got complimented on how comfortable and cozy our house was despite the below freezing temperatures. To ensure optimum heating efficiency in our home we made sure to have our furnace checked by a licensed HVAC technician. He did his annual maintenance check, ensuring that it was safe and ready to run to take on the winter season. We did the same thing for our pellet stove. Since the pellet stove hasn’t been on in over a year, he made sure that it was always ready to take on the cold temperatures. My family and I are lucky to have two heating option in our home.
