Utah Dodges Cold Snap But Salt Lake Heating Now a Higher Priority

Gas Furnace in a Blackout

Many Salt Lake heating systems still burn fossil fuel, namely kerosene and propane. In terms of price, gas-operated furnaces are more affordable to operate and requires little electricity just for ignition and the fans. As to how the Indiana family managed to make their propane heat operate despite disconnection, reports said they hooked up to other lines.

If you have a gas-fired furnace at home, you may want to invest in a generator. This allows the furnace to operate for a limited time during a blackout.
