Most gas furnaces in the US are forced air distribution just like the

Here in New England water is still used a lot. I have baseboard and it
does an excellent job providing even heat and no noise. Central AC is
not as popular here as in warmer climates.

Another reason is fuel. Oil is still the most used and works best with
water. Electric, either resistance or heat pump is very expensive here
with the highest rates in the country.
Oil Forced Air was the "standard" for North American central heat
for decades. A LOT less problems than hydronics - and if the power
goes out and it gets cold Hydronics can get REAL EXPENSIVE, and REAL
FAST!!!!!

Why would a water based system cost more in a power outage?

The pipes freeze and burst.

Well, as a pathetic Google Grouper, I can't. I find him somewhat
amusing, so I occasionally respond to his posts.

Tell her to killfile me herself. For some reason she can see your replies to me, so her killfile isn't much better than your missing one. If I killfile someone, I never ever see them again, not even in replies. Because I had the sense to install a fully functional newsreader.

If [entire message] contains "Jimmy Wilkinson Knife" then delete.

Easy enough.
