I have been …

writing several articles on fall and how it is starting to get colder. Well not really it isn’t even starting to get breezy in the evening here. But it is Sept 8th here, so soon I hope.

And with thoughts of cooler temps comes the thought of will our heat work this winter. Now I know you are thinking why on earth is she worried about her heater in the south?? Well 2 years ago I woke up on a cold winters morning with a winter storm approaching, and my nose freezing. And yes we were in the south, and I was COLD! Heat is important. I can not stress this enough! In the south things shut down during cold weather, so getting that furnace fixed was near impossible I tell you! Finding an alternative, and fast, was the key to keeping me and my kids warm. Now we are better prepared.

Infrared heaters are a great option. Take a look at these. Having something that is working and reliable is key. Make sure you can rely on your heat source. Don’t be caught freezing your nose off like me. Now is the time to think about winter heating, not at 4AM the morning of an ice storm! Take it from someone who knows. I don’t think we thawed out for days!

  1. I know what you mean. We have ran out of heating oil in the middle of the night before. Not fun. Especially with kids. I am glad we are now living in a house with electric heat. But, if the lights go out we are in a jam.
