Heating - Opvarmning

This is the system that we were used to for heating our home in Michigan.  A furnace that is generally located in the basement of the home, normally in a basement, tucked away behind Christmas decorations, and all of the other things we couldn't find a place for anywhere else in our homes.  The furnace then blows warm air, by way of vents, that travel throughout the home.  Nothing beats standing in front of one of those vents in the winter as the "on" cycle runs!  Nice, warm air. The downside, other than the bill, is in Michigan winters are so cold that these cycles run pretty often, creating really dry air and the subsquent need for humidifiers.

Det her er den opvarmings system vi var vent til brug i Michigan. Mens opvarmning system i almindelighed ligger i kælderen, til bage af jul dekorationer, og alle andre ting vi kunne ikke finde plads for i vores hus.  Dette opvarming system blæse varmt luft, via ventiler, som kører rund huset.  Ingenting er bedre om vinteren den det mulighed at stå i fremt af ventil når den blæse! Dejlige ,varm luft! Det bagside, anden det regning, er et Michigan vintere er så koldt at det opvarmer arbjede tit, og det laver virkelig tør luft, og det følgende behøv for humidifiers. (Det er maskiner som set fugtighed tilbage i luften)

In our home here in Denmark we have two forms of heating.  By way of radiators and in floor heating.

I vores huset her i Danmark, vi har to slags af opvarmnings systemer.  De er radiatorer og gulvvarme systemer.

Both systems work in conjuction with a "district-heating system" that is best explained by Wikipedia here. They keep our home really warm and cosy, especially after a winter like the one we have had this year! (Although, I do miss the vents sometimes.) With the added benefit that Bailey hasn't had a single nosebleed since we have moved.  

Begge systemer arbejde sammen med den fjernvarm system, det er bedste forklaret fra Wikipedia her. De virker fint og vores hjem er varm og hyggeligt, speciallet en vinter som vi har prøvet i år!  (Men nogen gang jeg savner de ventiler)  Men vi har den ekstra plus fordi Bailey ikke har fået næseblod en enesete gang, siden vi har flyttet.

As some extra fun, in Michigan we even have companies whose sole job is to clean out furnace vents.  Here are some examples of what they find.

Kun for sjovt, i Michigan vi også har virksomheder hvor deres eneste job er til rengøre luft ventiler.
Her er nogel eksempel af hvad de finder.
