Poland has a checkered history. It sucks being a big, flat place between the Germans and the Russians. Armies love flat places. Then after WWI being between Germany and East Prussia wasn't good either particularly when the Poles believed the British guarantee was worth a bucket of warm spit and refused the Germans passage through the Corridor.
They just never learn. When a major power says 'we've got your six' you'd damn well better have Plan B oiled up and ready to go.
If humans were supposed to live in 90%+ humidity we would still have gills.
The best part is when your oil guy falls asleep at the switch and overfills the tank, dumping a few gallons on the cement floor of the cellar.
How do you manage that? It's Ontario Hydro, isn't it? I thought you had so much surplus capacity you were selling power to New York.
Or fills the basement of the house next door who has removed the tank to convert to gas - and turned the pipe DOWN - the delivery guy turns the pipe back up and doesn't realize he has a problem untill he has pumped significantly more than the tank would have held.
Happened locally.
At below cost due to the inefficiencies and stupidity of government and management.
Cost per KwHr including delivery charges etc is well over $$0.18 on average in Ontario right now.
And the hot air duct is a good place to put a humidifier.
We call those "iceboxes"
Obviously more power to refrigerated air. Swap cooler was air conditioning. Max drop of temp about 20 degrees, so if it's 115 degrees outside, 85 degrees coming out of cooler. The old belt drive fans were not efficient like direct drive and switched mode. Never noticed much change in electricity bills with little apartment swamp cooler. That said my whole house AC refrigerated air is pretty efficient.

30-35% is OK vs 15%. you can also smell better, hence the name swamp. I had swamp cooler both in Army and home, 7 years.

mp for winter.
feel hotter, as your sweat can't evaporate so easily. In cold weather, th e damp cools you down more. So it's never wanted.
he cold side.
noise, so I'd always fit water:
A pleasant white noise.
No. Perhaps I enjoy the sensation of moving air more than you do.
Plus, there's this:
you can only install what someone is willing to sell you, and someone else is willing to install. When I moved into my house noone locally had ever he ard of underfloor heating, so I couldn't do it unless I was willing to do i t myself. Contractors matter, a lot, in what gets built.
wrong with them.
I suspect they're cheaper to install. If your ductwork leaks, it's no big deal. If your water line leaks, it's a big problem. Less skill is required, therefore less cost.

Why doesn't EVERYBODY just plong the scottish fool ????
Well, as a pathetic Google Grouper, I can't. I find him somewhat amusing, so I occasionally respond to his posts.

Just started reading "The Eagle Unbowed"
Just look at a map of Europe at different points in the last century and it explains a lot.
And the pictures on a seperate wall weren't?
I guess people have better frost free designs than I do.
Then you're using the word furnace incorrectly. Furnace implies a large scale operation.
I don't believe that. I'm sure the same number of tourists would come here without the royals being here. You don't come to the UK just to see royals, you come for another reason and see them while you're here.
I open my freezer maybe once a day. I virtually never defrost it and it's not frost-free.
