My condo has an electric furnace that I’ve always made sure is well-worked on by the local Heating, Ventilation, & A/C serviceman.
I didn’t do it to ensure the boiler reMEd functional.
That was just a plus of involving the Heating, Ventilation, & A/C repairman, but the real reason is that I feared a malfunction would either shock me or burn me to death. I avoided houses with any other type of Heating, Ventilation, & A/C component that I felt would threaten my safety. Boilers, for example, are in a style of heating technology that I would want to avoid living with. I thought about possible carbon monoxide poisoning, & that was enough to induce a panic attack. My parents condo used a furnace for heating, & my Mom was once a heating & cooling provider, so every furnace/heater tune-up & furnace filter cleaning & upgradement was done on a routine, & my buddy and I never had to worry. I hadlive in a condo with a central boiler too, but all the houses in my area have installed other possibilities for a new heating & cooling system. I had labor away from my hometown & was hosted by a absolutely kind family my parents knew from university. It was just before winter season heat, so the afternoons kept getting colder, & their boiler was on for a lot longer than on warmer afternoons. I remember my buddy and I were eating dinner when the smoke alarm went off. I have never panicked as much as I did then. The heating supplier was called to diagnose & fix the problem since the fire response team had also found that to be the smoke alarm trigger. It was something to do with excessive oil in the combustion chamber, & for me, those sound like fire hazards I hadrather avoid.
