After the second time my carbon monoxide alarm went off while using the stove/oven I decided it wasn't worth the risk, the thing is seriously old. I also have propane central heat I'm not using because the heat exchanger is cracked leading to high risk of CO poisoning. I came close to getting killed by CO once a long time ago and I have absolutely no desire to repeat the experience.

In my climate summer cooling is more of a problem than winter heating, I heat maybe three to four months and AC more like six or seven months, I've already had the AC on this year, it was over 80 here a couple of days ago and in the high 70's as I write this..
