I have always been afraid of using space boilers in our house, and now, I entirely have a reason to be, but our neighbors house, right next to ours, just burnt down last week because of a space heater, and i don’t like to talk awful about people, however our neighbors were not the kind of people that you wanted to live next to, they were constantly screaming and fighting throughout the day and evening.
They were not self-explanatory people to get along with, however my nice friend and I tried our best to be kind to them.
They did not spend money their gas bill for so long that the gas company turned off their gas! Because of that, they did not have a laboring boiler. Their only source of heat was electric space heaters. They had about three of them in their house. They used them 24/7, and they did not make sure that the outlets were made for that much use. I tried to warn them about using only electric space boilers 24/7. It was entirely not a nice idea, and it was a fire hazard… Everytime I mentioned it, they told me that they were about to get their gas turned back on, however it never happened. They just continued to use their electric space heaters. It would have been cheaper for them to use their gas boiler, even though I don’t suppose that they cared at that point. I feel so awful about their house, however thankfully, no one was hurt. I hope that they make better choices for heating their new house
