Figuring out the cold with help from the gas furnace

So maybe, I’m getting the hang of living up here. This past winter was much better than the previous three. But then again, that first winner was so bad I can hardly even remember it. The only thing I have in my mind is lots of time wishing for more heating from the gas furnace. The first winner, I just had no idea how cold it was going to be up here. Of course, that might have been a smart move to consider given the disparity between what I knew as winter and what a real winter was. Until I moved to the north, the heat pump hardly even had to come on for heating during our winters. There might be a few attire changes but that was all that was required of winter. I just figured that I would get used to it. I mean so many other people got used to gas furnace heating right. The place I ended up buying came with new HVAC equipment. Yeah it’s an older house and I had no clue when it came to winter preparation. The second winter wasn’t all that cozy but I started just getting used to how deep it cold was. Finally though I figured out that you got to prep the house for winter. My neighbors did it and I just kind of followed along. It’s essentially about sealing up the house to keep the HVAC Heating in and the cold out. Once I did that, hot only was it so much more comfortable in our house but the heating cost dropped dramatically. I’m really glad I figured that out. While, I’ll never be a native I might someday be considered a local.
