One thing I do not enjoy is gas oil furnaces and gas fireplaces, however anything having to do with gas I will never put into our home… This is because I do not trust gas, so numerous fatal accidents can happen from these, and from fires to carbon monoxide poisoning.
So when it comes to any indoor heaters, I go for anything that is electric or water based. Like portable space heaters, steam boilers and warm water boilers, and of course central heating and A/C units are ok too. With fireplaces it would be only authentic real fireplaces or electric fireplaces, and never a gas fireplace. Although the orange flame is nice looking and all, it still scares me because it is gas! I will never have any gas in the area where I live. When I was renting houses back when, if it had a gas furnace or even a gas stove I would not rent the site. This month I have your self-explanatory basic central heating and A/C device that takes care of all our heating and cooling needs, and I also have a smart temperature control which is very convenient. This is the best way to go for me in our opinion. I do not guess how others may suppose about gas oil furnaces and gas fireplaces! But you will never catch me for even a million bucks messing with a gas furnace, gas oil furnace or even a gas fireplace. Give me the self-explanatory electric any morning. Sure electric oil furnaces can cause fires just enjoy anything else. But there are no carbon monoxide poisoning risks with anything electric. So that is where I stay!
