    I think a furnace would refer to forced hot-air heat, with the furnace being the thing that heats the air being blown around through the vents.

    Boiler would be to heat water/steam for radiant heat.

    I am wondering what other appliances would be covered. What about electrical work or plumbing? Even if you don’t do the work yourself, knowing a bit about what’s involved can help avoid getting ripped off.

    I’m regularly shocked by people who are incapable of doing basic home repairs.

      Knowing how to wire a plug or change a fuse is apparently a vanishing skill. Even calling it a skill feels odd, its barely any harder than Lego.
