All we like sheep have gone astray; We have turned, every one, to his own way; And the LORD has laid on Him the iniquity of us all.

The Irish made fires that never went out. Did you know that? The fire in the hearth was for cooking and for warmth, and it smoldered for hundreds of years in some cases. Think of it. Generations tended that endless fire.

I know there isn’t a lot of steam in the Midwest outside of Industrial/Commercial uses, but in the East it is a main source of comfort heating.

On this day in heating history: On March 12, 1888, a record-shattering blizzard descended on New York City. As most people ran out of coal, customers of the New York Steam Company, the brand-new district-heating company, were the only ones to stay warm. District steam heating changed the face of American architecture because, with steam under the city streets, there was no longer a need for chimneys.

Always be safe!!

Safety is our top priority, which is why we are undertaking a voluntary recall of our first-generation Emerson-branded Sensi Wi-Fi thermostats, identified by model numbers 1F86U-42WF or UP500W with date codes of 1416 through 1536. While no injuries have been reported, we have identified a potential vulnerability associated with the product’s C-wire connection if accidental contact occurs between thermostat wires and line voltage during servicing.

Please dispose of any mercury properly!

$70,000 a day fine for mishandling a mercury thermostat? California has passed a new law that nearly triples the daily penalty for hazardous waste disposal, including the mishandling of mercury thermostats. The penalty is now $70,000 a day, up 180% over the previous $25,000 fine. "This legislation…raises the stakes for companies or individuals who might have ignored previous warnings that California is serious about safeguarding the environment and citizens from hazardous waste," said Ryan Kiscaden, executive director, Thermostat Recycling Corp.
