Furnace

I like electric heat.

I say this as a technician is banging on pipes in the basement, trying to fix a furnace that has already been fixed twice this week, and four other times in the past year. It's a never ending saga. You know you have the world's worst furnace when your gas company recognizes you and asks, "Hey, did you get a haircut?"

You would assume that I'm referring to an ancient furnace, but such is not the case. This furnace was installed in 2002, brand new.

Electric heat goes off and on. It doesn't have to circulate hot water through baseboards. It doesn't require a furnace company to come fix it every day. It doesn't cost as much to use. It doesn't decide to take a day or two off every week.

I type this as I hear the technician now sawing something. I really wonder what he's doing, but he's just as sick of it breaking as I am, so I'm not going to go look.

Electric heat doesn't treat me like this.
