Oil filled radiators are essential for heating your space efficiently and economically. These oil heaters come with various features such as temperature controls and timers. Ideal for both professional settings
Cutting hot water load by going to larger superinsulated water heaters that are chipped and connected to run only when wind and solar power are cranking is easily doable. Ovens can be better insulated, even cooking pots can be insulated. Methinks that over the next couple of decades, we ...
No water heaters. No gas stoves. No combustion of any kind whatsoever, everyone in the world voluntarily doing nothing else except sitting in the cold and the dark, eating cold food (if there is any) and bathing in cold water (where available). And yet, even for all that, countless...
- presumably cheaper electricity. The result of that could be people then deciding to buy electric patio heaters (as gas prices would be rising of course) 'cos the electricity then wouldn't cost so much, but demand then rises again. If prices remain roughly static then things carry on as ...
From an energy standpoint, cars are heaters on wheels, because the mechanical energy the engines produce are a small proportion of the primary energy consumed. And that heat is dissipated using hot water. So EVs can be viewed as another step towards getting hot water out of the picture. ...
xeroid, I live in Scotland and I personally prefer not to use my lights as heaters. I've managed to get through the summer fine with low energy bulbs (I didn't choose them, they were already in the flat I rent) and yet still haven't had to turn on the heating so far. Also,...

big energy users motor vehicles, hot water heaters, old refrigerators, poorly insulated homes. Not sure that a gridusing 50% wind and solar would require extraordinary measures, for Australia a connection between WA southwest grid and the eastern grid with the Bass-link beefed up to 2,000MW...
The combustion of gas inside of homes and businesses to power things like furnaces, water heaters and stoves accounts for 9% of California’s emissions, or 33 million metric tons of heat-trapping gases per year, equivalent to the entire climate footprint of Hong Kong. /jlne.ws/3QEdJNd ...
