Water Main burst. On Edina St.

Comfort Inn?  Are you just staying for one night?

We have 3, 420lb (120 gallon ea.) tanks, now. During covid we were with a different service, and only had two, they would fill them every 4 -6 weeks, while maintaining 55 degrees in the home. The new service said we would be better off with 3. Bonus was, the first provider charged us "rent" for each tank, the new service has 1 rental fee, no matter how many tanks. They fill them every 5 weeks but, we rarely dip below 60% when they fill. Having 3 now, keeps us way safer for running low. So yes, it was a very low volume for what we had.    Several times the first provider would let us get down to below 10% before filling, and in a super cold temp time, it is hard for the tanks running that low to generate enough vapor and pressure, to run the furnace. Guessing that was what burnt out our motherboard in 2022.   To utilize a big pill style 250-500 gallon tank, we have to have the tank so far from a property line, and so far from every building. In our case, that would put the tank smack dab in the middle of the backyard. The weird thing is, we can have as many of the 420s we want, anywhere we want.      But, I still check the smart stat multiple times a day, and stress all winter the furnace will not run, and cause lots of issues.

Yep.    Just doing a quickee break in ride for our sleds before we go to Gaspe the 1st week of Feb.    

That loop never disappoints
