My Sioux Falls house deals with a lot of ice, snow, and below freezing temperatures.
It is just something I have to deal with.
I am not a fan of the cold. What I do to combat it is have an optimal heating device. I recently upgraded to a boiler system and it was a game changer. A furnace just can’t get the job done. It seemed like I was constantly calling a Sioux Falls HVAC contractor to come and perform a furnace repair or service. A boiler is a tank. It doesn’t need the amount of maintenance, repairs, and updates. It can just keep going and doesn’t require cleaning. It can heat my entire household without a hitch. I decided that the way I wanted it to heat was through piping within my floorboards. I got the floors redone. I now have tile throughout most of the house and a few pieces of carpet in the bedrooms. The pipes have hot water from the boiler that flows all throughout the home. That hot water creates a heating effect. Hydronic heating is the way to go in South Dakota. It is powerful enough to combat the severe chill. It is quiet in operation since it isn’t forced air. It also doesn’t stir up dust or create hot and cold spots because of it being water based. Anything that touches my heated flooring feels warm as a result. It doesn’t need a lot of care and has a long lifespan. I am so glad I made this upgrade.
