Ever since we did the basement water work, I have been very diligent about checking the basement floor after it rains to see if there is any seepage. Imagine my surprise then, this morning when I venture down to the basement (after last night’s downpour) to see this: What the? Holy Hand Grenades Batman! [...] I would call the heating season over, for the most part. Last winter we used 430 gallons of heating oil. At 1,575 square feet, that means we burned 0.273 gallons of oil per Ft2 or about 38 kBTU per Ft2 for the entire heating season. Looking at the weather information, there were seven fewer heating [...] Getting a late start this morning, partly because I was up until 2 am with the furnace repair man last night, and it was not a social visit. This is the second time the furnace has gone out this winter, both times the same thing has happened.

This will, hopefully, prevent the startling cold wake up one January morning accompanied by that sinking feeling that the heat is out.

During the renovation, much of the existing base board radiators had to be removed to replace floors. A new Dunkirk oil-fired furnace was installed in 1997. It is 85.2 percent efficient and has an output of 105 MBTU. [...] |
