The heat is natural gas with cast iron radiators throughout the house.  

I see it every week).Quickly on the long term financial viability of solar: as has been mentioned there are many factors to consider:Net meteringTax creditsPanel and system degradationSoilingSnowWeather patterns (rain and clouds)Daily solar radiation (how much sunlight is there really during the day)Shading (current and future like trees that are growing)Rate hikes from utility companies (in Utah this is around 4% per year, averaged)Power disruptions (outages, maintenance, etc)System maintenance costs (cleaning, repairing and replacing components)If you take out a loan, interest costsAnd there are more....In real estate there are plenty of people willing to sell you a house and not disclose the issues if you don't think to ask or inspect.

After the walk through with an inspector we discovered that both boilers and multiple radiators were blown out from freeze damage, also some structural damage.

The other downside is since it is a dedicated FA AC system, the vents need to be covered with magnet covers in the winter so ducts don't condensate in the months it's not in use.The old steam radiator heat has been wonderful!!! 

Your enthusiasm and positivity radiate from everything you do!

It starts with my nuclear family, then radiates to family and friends, then community.

2. main bathroom: the toilet wasn't flushing and will most likely need to be replaced. the tiles on the floor and along the wall were also showing signs of coming off and will need to be replaced. 3. flat roofing material has aged and will most likely need to be replaced soon. 4. water heater is working but has met its life expectancy; will need to be replaced soon.5. water supply piping has started rusting in certain areas and will soon need to be replaced6. radiator in the main bathroom on 2nd floor not functioning7. oil/water boiler has met life expectancy and will need to be replaced soon8. chimney shows major deterioration/damage from exterior and needs further inspection9. wood framing in the rear of basement shows evidence of rot. the kitchen is directly above this area of the basement. extent of damage could not be determined due to insulations and will need further inspection10. pavement in the back of the property have cracks that are leading rain water towards the house. we were hoping to renovate this so that the water is diverted away from the house.

My insurer paid out well over a million dollars for my cancer diagnostics, mastectomies, chemo, and radiation, even with my co-pays and the insurance company's negotiated lower payment rates.I'm cancer-free now (knock on wood), and I am happily investing in out-of-state rentals in my "spare" time. 

Loving the energy with this post and the responses--BP is certainly radiating community and we're all here to support from a distance!

Make sure that your radiators have 2 pipes.
