Germans can't afford heating anymore, they just die in winter.

I never heat my home, the window is always open. t. Portland, formerly Chicago.

Florida, heat is free from the sun

I set it to 69F/20.5C in winter

>>24906138 Is it true you don't tend to have basements in the south?

Its 21c in my home. We almost all heat with central heating, even though many have fireplaces as well.

>>24906150 also it’s a heat pump in the attic like this

I just use a space heater in my room. I don't heat the whole house, because it's just me alone now Not sure how much I'm paying in electric costs yet tho.

i hate the home heating season so much

burn wood and let the heat escape through cardboard walls

>how do you heat youre homes I live in a huge house and we keep moast of the vents closed and close the doors on those uninhabited rooms closed so as to not to heat a room for nobody and overheat my own.

>>24906284 Due to the closing of the vents, your furnace is now oversized for the space that it conditions and the ductwork it services. An oversized furnace can lead to short cycling and decreased service life.

75 (23.889 communism units) in summer 69-70 (20.556-21.111 communism units) in winter

Difficult to determine exact heating and cooling costs due to other appliances using gas/electricity resources

My house uses natural gas and I keep it 23.3 Eurodegrees exactly at all times of the year. Utilities are like $200/mo average for the year. Feels like being in your ship on one of those hot-ass planets on No Man's Sky though because as soon as you go outside it's fucking over.

Propane, ~$1400 per year in Vermont. I set the thermostat to 66 during the day.

2 kerosene heaters, consumes 1-2 gallons of kerosene on cold days, kerosene is 4$ per gallon on a gas station Cleveland OH

>>24906706 Does that exhaust into your living space?

>>24906727 Mostly CO2 so why worry

A combination of electric baseboard heating (shit) and a wood stove (based). I have an infinite source of firewood, because I live in a temperate rainforest and an annual wood cutting permit is only like $12.

>>24906734 Doesn't kerosene have a smell? Why do you use these heaters and not a furnace?

>>24906737 How do you get dry wood from a temperate rainforest? Don't you have to age it somewhere dry?

>>24906739 K1 kerosene doesn't smell too bad, that barrel DuraHeat heater is extremely good and barely produces any smell at all (candle like paraffin smell mostly). I can't use furnace because the city won't let me connect gas and electric service before I resolve all the building violations.

>>24906742 Yes, it needs to be aged, like all firewood. Or I can just buy it from someone who has already dried it. I mean, it isn't any worse than wood from a "regular" forest. There's just moss and other shit on it because it rains all the time here from October to April. Then everything is on fire from about July to October.

You're skinny and don't eat enough burger

>>24906151 It's true in the part of the South I am because the city is built on hard limestone, so basements are expensive to excavate. Most people have a concrete slab. In other parts it's because of the high water table

We close the vents and doors to the extra rooms when it gets too hot or cold so as not to pay to heat/cool the whole house.

gas is about $75/mo but they want me using electricity now for about $485 for 72 degrees through the night or about $85 if I turn it off when I go to bed

Fair point. I think I'm spending some much on heating, that I don't even want to check how much exactly.

Propane for if I want to warm up the whole place. Electric for if I want to spot heat a small section real quick. Both are too cheap to bother calculating. That said I live in norther Florida so it doesn't get very cold and doesn't stay cold for long. Instead most months I spend $30-$50 bucks on electricity running the AC and fans.
