If that’s the case, go to Chicago around May. April temperatures would still be around freezing (30 to 40 Fahrenheit). However, after 3 months of below freezing temperatures, that kind of weather is warm enough for us to play golf in the morning sun (only in Chicago, hehehe!).

The heater there is thru a small furnace using LPG which is piped and billed like water. You can set the temperature on the house to your preferred warmth. In most homes, the heater uses the same vents and controls as the air conditioning system. Yung ibang Pinoy doon para makatipid sa gas bill, di masyado mainit yung heater. Si misis lagi naka set sa room temperature yung bahay, 75* F which is about 25*C.

February 1st, 2019 09:27 AM #7788when i was doing further study in 'merica, decades ago,
i noticed that my flat had electric range, electric room heater, electric water heater.. electric everything!
no gas of any sort.
i was wondering, is this a building safety policy of the city or the state? or is this a dictate of economy?

There are regulations or zoning laws covering certain buildings. For some, gas lines may not be readily available or may not be a standard option so an alternative is used. Electric heaters would then be the best option. In the woods or farms, some people still have their chimneys in their houses.
When I was in the US, below are the list of utilities I pay. During summer, my electric bill rises due to air conditioning (yes, it can get to 30* Celsius around July). During winter, it is my gas bill which rises.

February 1st, 2019 10:52 AM #7790well, my food bill was always up there.
and the 24-hr grocery nearby, with its good selection of ready-to-cooks and ready-to-eats, didn't help, either.
