Water & Power

[uilliam]

So, here's something neat I learned today.
The heating system in our townhouse is powered by the hot water heater, so the problems we've been having with the hot water and the heating system are actually user error*.
Heat on at night, cold shower in morning.
Hot shower, cold house.

It means we're going to keep the house at a cooler temperature overnight, and use more blankets, so that Marni can have her shower with hot water in the morning.

umm...

that shouldn't be an either or choice...

I know, seriously. I didn't even suspect the relationship, since the house has central air (or is it forced air, is there a difference?) and not radiators.
