回复: 魁北克的供暖都是电暖么?如果电力故障,会不会冷死人?
除了烧木料的最原始的壁炉可以使用外,无论烧汽油、柴油、煤气的暖气、壁炉,它们的控制系统都是电的。所以只要停了电,一切都不能工作了。曾经有人长时间停电后用煤气灶取暖,就因为排风扇不工作,结果全家煤气中毒死亡。这就是为什么加拿大政府在power outage紧急处置指南中所讲的,如果冬季停电超过24小时仍无修复信息时,建议排空家中的管道及用具中的存水后,迅速撤离到政府或亲朋好友的安全处。望居住在寒冷省份的同学们切记。
这个提醒太有实用价值,停电就伴随着停水,停气,所有的通风系统也不工作了.

这是关于天然气方面的告警:
Natural Gas Appliances
You may be able to use certain natural gasfired appliances in a power outage. You can use some natural gas fireplaces to heat a single room — others need electricity to operate. Find out if your gas appliances will work during an electricity outage.
You can use some natural gas stoves for cooking and for cooking only. Never use a gas stove for heating. If you can use a gas stove for cooking, make sure that a window is open while the stove is running and that you have battery-operated smoke, fire and carbon monoxide detectors that work. To avoid the threat of carbon monoxide poisoning, limit use of the stove. If you have a natural gas-fired hot water tank, ask your building manager or gas company about safety precautions for shutting off the gas if necessary.
