So I am off today and also yesterday. I used my two floating holidays that work gives us so I could be home when SNAP converts me over from an electric forced-air furnace and hot water tank to gas. They installed the furnace yesterday and are here changing out the hot water tank. I can already tell the difference in the heat from the furnace. Everything in the house doesn't feel like it's got a chill to it anymore. I was told that gas heat is a warmer heat, almost a radiant heat and it seems to be true. I don't feel the cold rising up from the floor anymore either. The cat does not like the new furnace as it's either (a) too loud, (b) blows the air too hard or (c) smells funny (new furnace smell). She kept me up pretty much all night crying to be let outside (freezing temps). Or maybe she's suffering from the post-full moon effects. She even jumped up on my bed a few times during the night, which she has never done, meowing the whole time. Oh well, at least I will have a brand new energy efficient furnace and hot water tank.
