My in-laws have a well located on their property that provides them with free natural gas.
They’re able to run their oil furnace at no cost, then because of this, their house is always warm, and we’re invited to their house for dinner on Labor Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas as well as Easter… It doesn’t matter what the weather brings, I suppose I’m going to sweat the entire time. If there’s the slightest chill in the air, my in-laws keep the oil furnace blasting at maximum capacity. The people I was with and I all try to turn the thermostat down, however my mother or father-in-law immediately crank it back up! My fiance as well as I alternate who is trying to open a window without them knowing it. The people I was with and I volunteer to take out the garbage in order to spend a few hours in the garage where it’s cooler. My in-laws get certainly sad with open windows because it wastes energy. I’ve tried to explain that such high thermostat settings are also a waste of energy, and plus, with the money they save on their heating bills, I would feel they could afford to run an air conditioner. In the summer, they are reluctant to even start up a box fan because of the cost of electricity. This means that their house is also warm as well as stuffy while I was in the summer. Whether the outside temperature is in the mid-eighties or the negative digits, the people I was with and I all suppose to dress in shorts as well as T-shirts for dinner. The people I was with and I expect to be drenched in sweat the entire time. Because of the excessive wear as well as tear on their oil furnace, my in-laws need to replace their heating plan every 5 to multiple years.
