That seems like a lot..

I think ours is between 60-80 every month, gas furnace, gas hot water, gas range in main portion of the house, terribly insulated

Is your furnace/hot water tank new/high efficiency?

Over the summer, we would be only using gas for the hot water tank and my gas stove and it's about $70 billing cycle.

In the winter in previous years, when the gas furnace comes on for our hydronic heating, it can spike up to $700/cycle during the cold snaps.

We've installed heat pump minisplits throughout the house upstairs and we used those exclusively last year for heating upstairs (basement still used the gas furnace for hydronic heating) and our gas bill was around $300/cycle during the winter.

This spring at the end of the heating season, we found out that our gas furnace wasn't cleaned properly, like ever, when the fail safe kicked on and shut it off. The heat exchanger had been completely clogged with soot and the flame was coming out around the sides and melted some wires. We had the whole thing disassembled and cleaned. I'm curious what if any efficiency will be regained.

How long is your billing cycle?

Nope. The furnace is original to the house! So like 40 years old? He just maintained it by replacing parts and keeping it clean.

Hot water tank is 8 years old I think...

That's what's happening with my furnace now. It's old and it "backfires" when it lights up. It says on for like 1 minute, shuts off for a few minutes and then back on. Someone else one did mention the best way to disassemble the whole thing and clean it. Would you mind telling me how much it cost and/or a contact?

we have a gas furnace and gas hw. my last month was $85, our heat was off the entire time, only started turning it on this past week, so i guess that's all from the hw + basic charge + delivery, trudope tax, etc..

I've got a gas furnace and tankless hot water, both fairly new, a new gas fireplace we never use and the BBQ runs off the house as well. I did the equalized payments thing and right now it's $81/mo or $972/yr ish.

Yeah your heat exchanger is probably clogged up, and the flame is not going through and instead coming around the outside. When we tried to restart the furnace it "backfired" as well and the flame blew out all around the outside of the unit and then it turned off.

I'll look for the contact, it's on a card taped to the furnace.

Damn that's cheap. Do you not turn on your heat at all?

I think we are on the same, equalized payments paying about the same as far as I remember (I’ll confirm I don’t pay the gas bill)

But my furnace is running non-stop in the winter

My last bill was $57.13 for August 29 to October 2 with 3.0 GJ used.

Old house from the 50s, 2200 sqft. Gas furnace and water tank.

Next bill on the 29th.

is it a guesstimate bill or actual read?

I'm trying to replace a new backup battery for my sump pump. Not trying to break the bank, as I see agm maintenence free ones going for $300. Where can I find something more cheaper?

I run it as soon as the house starts dipping below 20 during the day. I used to keep it at 21 during the day for the kids naps but now it's 22-23. Night time is 19. In the fall we even run the heat during the day then run the AC in the evening to cool it down so the kids sleep better lol.

I have no idea what kind of duty cycle it's running since we just keep the fan on 24/7 for air flow.

Do you have a heatpump and not a gas furnace then?

Does anyone know of any good frozen waffles ? Not eggo waffles. That shit sucks.
I’m too lazy to make my own waffles (I don’t even have a waffle maker).

Kinda far, but Trader Joe's...............

I so want this……………

Everywhere I went in Japan Ohtani was there, billboard ads, magazines, stores, etc. even saw a dedicated store for his merch.

How are you toasting them?

We used to eat a LOT of Eggo waffles bcos my kid loved that stuff (but not anymore), and I found that the way we toasted them made a HUGE difference in terms of how they come out.

We don't actually have a toaster -- only a small table top oven for this kind of thing. And to really make it tasty, I needed to toast it at ~350ºC on one side for 6 - 7 min when it comes straight out of the freezer. Then flip it over to the other side, and toast it for another 6 - 7 min. And then after that's done, I need to take it out and let it air out for a short while. And then it'll be nice and crispy.

If I didn't toast it long enough, there'd still be moisture from the freezing, and the waffle will be soft or maybe even soggy. And if I didn't let it air out, it'd still be too moist for my likings. But if I leave it airing out too long, it gets cold and it isn't as good anymore.

But man... 15 min of toasting / waiting for 2 lousy waffles... It just doesn't make any sense... FailFish

I tried air frying them. It turned out okay. It’s just too thin and doesn’t have that mouth feel of a real waffle.

For the price of half of one of your senna models you could get yourself a nice little waffle iron! Lol

We usually make them from scratch but recently just used the aunt jemaima buttermilk pancake mix for the waffles, super easy and they were really good

I loath having a ton of niche kitchen appliances. A waffle iron in a Chinese household seem like such a waste. Same as a bread maker or a stand mixer or even an egg beater.
The fuck is a spatula for ?!? I use chopsticks for everything.

Pancakes > waffles

Waffle maker can be justified if it was on sale hahaha
But chopsticks for everything else :concentrate:

Here you go, it's in Steveston. Buy a dozen frozen ones. Or buy a dozen and freeze them.

Doesn't Costco sell frozen liege waffles?

I had one a month ago and it was pretty good reheated in the toaster/air fryer.
