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.

If you want to support your HVAC system with fireplaces, ovens and even sunny windows, you have found the right blog. Please explore these posts and tips. I hope they guide you toward improved efficiency!
