Central Heating
Our house has a central heating system, in which water is heated at a tank and sent through the whole house via pipes to provide warmth in every rooms. It's a fantastic system for me.
Because many Japanese houses don't have central heating, but space heating even in winter in Japan is very cold. But it's very common. I wonder why central heating didn't develop or become common in Japan, but traditional Japanese houses and people have survived many centuries in this climate condition. Because of this, getting out of bed is tough task in the morning, as it always has been in an unheated house.
In the UK, I'd been very happy with this central heating until it had a problem. The heating downstairs stopped working on the snowiest day of the year... Water circulation seemed bad and it's warm upstairs and cold downstairs... My husband called a plumber and he came to check it last night. He said we need to change a pump for sending water, and also need to turn off the boiler at night for his work next morning.
For that reason, we spent a cold night. The plumber came to fix it this morning, but seems like there is another problem. Pumping works very well, but it's not completely fixed yet.
