There is a lot to learn and being in the heat of it can be super beneficial.

We replace gas cooking stoves with electric but due to the simple ability to separate propane have been installing propane heat some places.

In Cleveland, older duplexes often have furnaces that can last longer with the right maintenance, especially if the heat exchanger and blower motor are still solid.
