Most gas furnaces in the US are forced air distribution just

away shortly after WWII. I never lived in a house with a

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.

I like you Cindy. blush ^_^

Are you two fanbois of me or something?


you are amusing enough that you're not in the Bozo Bin with Pigeon Ass,
Traitor_4, Bodkin, Storming Moron, Peeler, and the rest of the broken
