What if...

[Nix]

Howdy Lightspeed, some good prep there!

NR, just curious, how did your central heating work during a power cut? You normally have a mains powered pump to circulate the water for the radiators unless there's a system I don't know about?

RS, yes, it makes total sense to have a battery/inverter back up for central heating! That brings me to another important point - how many know how to reignite their boiler if it goes out? After a particularly heavy snow fall last winter combined with the wrong wind direction, our outside flue got blocked so the had to clear it and reignite it. Which brings up a further issue, how many here have a CO detector for any emergency appliances that give off this dangerous gas?

All food for thought..
