Anyone who knows Ryanne knows she’s extremely thrifty when it comes to utilities. Growing up in the cold winters of New England taught her to keep that thermostat to a minimum or else when spring rolls around, you’ll be in heating bill debt. Living in California allows us to keep our heating bill low (or nonexistent), so why are we paying almost $20 a month ($240 a year) for gas? We don’t even have a gas stove! Find out how we were able to but this amount in half through a little furnace investigation.
P.S. If you have a newer gas heating system, you might not have this problem. Newer systems have electronic gadgets to help reduce gas usage. Thank Goodness!

Don’t you think it would have been wise to have talked to the utility rep to check on the safety of what you did? That seems a bit wiser than ” if you smell gas after you’ve tried this, call the experts..”
The advice in this podcast seems fool hardy & perhaps even dangerous, but then “…Anyone who knows Ryanne knows she’s extremely….???”
You fill in the blank

@Two Cents, your comment seems unnecessarily inflammatory (pun intended). If you’re going to quote, quote accurately. Ryanne does not say “if you smell gas after you’ve tried this, call the experts..” You have subtly misrepresented her words and rearranged their context.
Talk to the utility rep, whose job is to make sure you’re paying for gas? I don’t know, that doesn’t seem wise to me. Not when pretty much anyone is capable of reading the instructions and safety information printed in a furnace manual.
Ryanne says, in a nutshell, to make sure you understand what you’re doing and double check that it’s safe if you’re going to try this on your own furnace. That’s wise enough for me.
