Supporting HVAC with Baking, Fireplaces and Other Elements

Hi, my name is Charlene, and I love ancient ideas related to modern efficiency. In the past, my grandma used to heat the entire home with a fireplace. She even used to keep her baked goods warm on the hearth. When I was little, my mom used to bake a lot of bread in the winter because it allowed her to turn down the heating as the oven was running instead.

I hope they guide you toward improved efficiency!
