Look, I grew up in a lake apartment with gas heating.
I get the appeal.
I also get the appeal of a gas stove. Gas heating provides that deep, heavy, soak into the bone type of heating that electric heating just cannot provide. I really, particularly get it. I do. However, gas heating is so messy as well as much less safe than electric heating. And, if you’re honest, you know that electric heating keeps the air quality higher as well as the grime level down. Since moving into our electric heating home, I have noticed significantly better air quality as well as tremendously less cleaning that’s required. I would option electric heating over gas heating any day of the week. Like I said before though, I get it. Especially in the winter, I miss that deep heat that gas heating provides. Nostalgically, gas heating feels care about Christmas to myself and others as well as I can’t shake that association. I like a good, toasty gas-heated Christmas Eve celebration as well as I also like a steaming bowl of pasta cooked over a gas stove. My family consistently tells myself and others that, although electric heating provides the benefits I discussed above, that gas heating is still a much cheaper option. That is also true, however it doesn’t change our mind. Those delightful treats, prices as well as memories do not negate that fact that I know electric heating is the superior heating option. Feel free to disagree with me. I’m not trying to start a debate; I just felt the need to get this off our chest for some reason. Thank you for coming to our TED talk.
