Got into an interesting discussion on what matters in communication.

Nuance gets missed a lot when people tell half-truths. For instance, an astonishing amount of folks say they want gas as their heating system because of power outages.

Most gas-fired systems still need electricity to operate. Which, anyone who has lived with one during a power outage, already knows.

That half-truth is that a gas-fired system can more easily be supplied with emergency power. But most people don't have that.

@TechConnectify and this is why we have a wood-fired boiler connected to hydronic heating. i'm looking into getting a heat pump connected to the water loop as well, as replacement for the electric heating element in the boiler. that thing costs a lot to run but it's needed when we're not there.
