Edit: Context behind this question is because my parents always tell me to shut the windows all the way and I kinda feel like I’m suffocating… literally… (it’s Winter here)

Like I just struggle to breathe with windows closed…

So I’m just curious, how do y’all not suffocate while trying to keep house warm and spend less on heating?

  • Central heating, no AC.

    Heat is not carried by air, but by those pipes with hot water running to radiators… so I don’t know if there’s any airflow.

    Built before 1978, might have lead paint under there… but it was painted over once before we moved in so its probably lead safe(? I hope lol, i’d be lame to lose a few iq points to something stupid like lead)
