When I moved to Missouri, I wasn’t pleased that I got put into Springfield.
My place of work landed in Springfield, MO for me.
There isn’t too much to do. The sights aren’t that amazing, the city isn’t too big, and there aren’t any major parks or anything. The weather is quite brutal as well. There are periods of intense cold and a hot summer season. The priority for me was home comfort. I invested in a top of the line air conditioner and a powerful heating device. I was sold on a boiler system. At first I was a bit worried. The cost of a boiler is downright obscene. However, when you consider all the things a boiler system can do, it is more than worth the cost. A boiler can be hooked up to baseboards or radiators to provide heat. You can also make it the family hot water heater. A boiler can have piping connected to it to be heated flooring, a snowmelt system, or be a pool heater. Another benefit of owning a boiler system is the lifespan. It can live around 50 years! With proper maintenance and service, a boler could actually be around 80 years old. The only reason people replace boilers is because they are so old and replacement parts aren’t being made for their model anymore. Isn’t that crazy? So I felt pretty good about buying a boiler for my Missouri home. The cold weather warrants such an intense heater. I also like that I probably won’t ever have to buy another heater again if I am lucky. That is a pretty good feeling.
