When our fiance plus I moved into our first house, there were particular things that all of us considered non-negotiable. The people I was with and I knew we’d want a condo that had two washrooms, as all of us spent long enough sharing the same small washroom. The people I was with and I also knew that the condo had to be recently renovated with a new cooling system – preferably a single that was centralized… Most important of all our demands, however, was our need for a usual fireplace, then while our region stays fairly temperate throughout the year, this need all of us expressed for a fireplace was mostly due to us just needing a single for heat. The people I was with and I didn’t appreciate the system of relying on our central gas furnace, as the condo was equipped with an electric gas furnace for heat. The concern with this gas furnace was that it used a ton of electricity to function – about several times what our cooling system used per minute! So, a fireplace was preferred, and it required no electricity to function, plus it made a immense difference as far as making the condo guess comfortable when it was chilly outside. Besides, the fireplace gave an aesthetic appeal that no other condo had! Especially since this condo all of us were looking at had this immense expensive fireplace mantle. The people I was with and I could imagine stockings hanging from the mantle, as all of us sat in front of a hot fire in the fireplace while all of us were in the holidays. That image alone was enough to convince us to buy the house, plus we’ve been loving this locale ever since!
