Run on electric heaters:
Summer temperatures mean the heat is off. With winter just a few months away, however, tenants and homeowners are starting to realize that uncomfortable months likely lie ahead. They lack an alternative to gas heat.
It is almost impossible to schedule heating maintenance or have more efficient systems installed. Technicians are booked out, and there is a shortage of materials, such as heat pumps that run on electricity. Firewood, portable radiators, and electric heaters are selling out.
Technicians warn that the power supply is not designed for high additional demand from such devices and local networks could overload on cold days.
Had this happen in the UK with a gas supply issue, customers were give portable electric heaters as they had no gas heating. They all plugged them in causing the LV fuses to operate back at the distribution S/S.
It's looking rather bleak for the winter for us all.
