I also grew up with our house having gas heat, hot water, and for
cooking. It was hard to make the switch to electric when I had to over
various moves before buying my house, but even now when I go to my mom's
for dinner, the kitchen is always unbearably hot. She has a very large
kitchen with 2 ceiling fans, but it still gets so hot in there when
cooking. It could be that I only visit when we're having family
dinners, and usually it means the oven and all gas burners are being
used. But it gets hotter than my tiny kitchen.
