Climate Control

The house is equipped with radiant heat and an evaporative cooler: the thermostats for the heat are to the right of the television in the living room and in the Master bedroom.
To use the cooler: Turn knob to 'Low' and slightly open a window(s) where you want the the cool air to go. Running it without window/s open will trip the breaker or burn out the motor. Do NOT turn on 'High'. The cooler will not be available for use from Sept 15-May 15.
Since Santa Fe is a high desert climate many of our guests (along with us!) opt to leave the windows open-- especially at night when the temperature drops deliciously. Whichever option you choose: please do not run the cooler/Heat with the windows open.

Fireplace

The indoor fireplace will be turned off from May15-Oct 15. If you decide to build a fire outside of that time, please use the metal bucket outside of the house for the ash when you are done (it is by the stack of firewood under the portal). Don’t forget to open the flue! (Reach in and up into the fireplace, grab the metal lever, pull towards you for open, push back for closed)

To build a fire in the fireplace please follow these steps:

1. Make sure the chimney flue draft is opened, so you can get some airflow up the chimney (and not out into the room).
2. Gather your tinder/kindling materials and make a loose pile in the very back of the fireplace.
3. Stack your wood around the kindling in a teepee shape. Don’t put too much in because you want air flowing under and around the sticks, so they’ll ignite and stay lit.
4. Light the kindling, and (if needed) blow on the fire gently. Then slightly open a window, or otherwise to ensure you have fresh air coming into the room to replace what the fire is using up.
5. Tend it by adding more wood as the existing sticks collapse.
6. Never leave an open fire unattended.
