Water Use
We are on a well and septic system. Tap water is safe to drink.
When bathing or showering, please be conscious of water and energy consumption. The water is heated by an on-demand propane heating system. It will be most efficient if showers are taken one at a time. Since the water has to reach the heater before being distributed through the pipes, the water will take time to reach the tap.
Thank you for your cooperation and understanding in this conservation awareness.
Heating
There are three different heating options:
baseboard electric heat adjusted by the wall thermostats,
heat pump - the most comfortable and efficient and works by remote control; and propane fireplace available for short-term use. To start, ensure the pilot light is lit; if not, follow instructions hanging form fireplace. Make sure that the switch on the right side of the thermostat on the wall next to coffee maker is set to “on”. Fireplace temperature needs to be a couple of degrees higher than room temperature. Fan will come on approximately 5 minutes after lit, to circulate heat.
