I live across the Bering in Alaska. It frequently gets to -40F, occasionally as cold as -55F, in the winter. Our house is built a few feet off the ground to prevent heat transfer from the house to the ground, which would cause melting of any permafrost and make the house unstable. Our windows are also triple paned and our walls are insulated with fiberglass and foamboard insulation. The floor and roof are about a foot thick. We heat with an oil stove that both blows and radiates heat throughout the house. We keep the stove set to 62F. Because we have an open floor plan and ceiling fans, the heat disperses from the one stove throughout the house.

We then use a pump system to move water around the pipes and a heat exchange system to move that heat into the house, it also heatrs our water. Our house is similar to yours in that it's made of wood and insulated with plant fibers (saw dust). In the winter we can see temperatures as low as -40c but that is quite rare, normal winter temperature is -10 to -30.

We replaced the heater with a heat pump, which doubles as an air conditioner in summer. The air from the gas heater was always very hot, which led to it accumulating under the ceiling, where it is not much use to anyone. The heat pump pumps in air that is only a few degrees warmer than the air in the room. so the house is heated much more evenly. Thanks for posting these videos, they are really interesting!

The concrete is covered with vinyl flooring to "seal" the carbon monoxide from filling the room. Sometimes the vinyl fails and people sleeping on the floor die. Most places leave the window open a little to help, but as you may know, carbon monoxide is heavier than air so it settles to the bottom of the floor.

I grew up in northern Alberta, Canada. Similar climate to Siberia. My father's house had a ducted central heating system using natural gas and forced air which blew hot air from heating ducts coming from the floor on all three levels. The house had fiberglass insulation inside the wall and styrofoam sheets on the outside walls. A basement dug below the frost line also helped. Instead of double glazed windows most homes in the area had two complete window frames to trap air in between. The ceiling had blown woolen insulation. He even had a couple of fireplaces on the lower floors as back up. Now I live in northern Australia where it never freezes but we have flood and drought instead.

Hi Maria! I live in Dallas, Texas, USA. The coldest weather we get is 25F, and that is usually for only a week, when a cold front blows down south from Canada. My house has blown-in fiberglass insulation between layers of brick and drywall, also between the delinking and the roof. And natural gas powers a central heating unit which blows warm air into each room through a vent on the ceiling. Last year, a particularly nasty cold front pushed our state’s power grid past its capacity and caused hundreds of thousands of people to lose power for days during this unseasonably cold snap. This was a problem because our houses are only insulated for mild weather, so it got very cold in the houses, leading to some deaths. Something you might find interesting is that the house insulation is really more to keep the heat out in the summer than to keep the cold out in the winter. Thanks for your video!

I live in Texas, USA, about 100 miles northwest of Houston. We use our air conditioning at least 7 -8 months a year with only about 3 months when heat is needed in our short winters.. Our house uses electric heat. It is rare for the coldest nights to drop below 0 degrees celcius. (32 Fahrenheit). I cannot imagine living in Siberia where it's that cold most of the time ! Thank you for your video ! It was Very interesting. 🙂 Love your dog ! ❤

[@gregorymalchuk272]

@@zokonjazokonja Air to air, by far. In fact, the winter conditions are so mild, that a large number of heat pumps are non-inverter, single stage heat pumps, not mini splits. But more efficient inverter mini-splits are gaining ground. Another thing to mention is that in the south, due to the mild Winters, those single stage heat pumps have been fairly popular since the 1960s, predating the modern heat pump craze. Cheaper than electric resistance and you don't have to have a connection to the gas grid. Ground to air "geothermal" is used in some places, but the setup cost is high. Air to water and ground to water seem to be a uniquely European phenomenon. They also lock you out of being able to use it for air conditioning.

In Colorado USA my house is often colder than the refrigerator during the winter! I've lived in a shack in the mountains with no heat and no insulation in -35C. It's cold, but not so hard to acclimate as long as you begin in the Autumn. Thanks so much for these videos!

Gas is not as cheap in Wyoming as it is in Siberia, but it is cheap enough that houses are warm enough in the winter to lounge in underwear. You are a true stoic, if you're not heating your house in central or northern Colorado; keep in mind that indoor temperatures below about 19°C are associated with more frequent illness.

[@rc4a0frios]

@@microcolonel I live in Argentina and indoor temperatures in my house during winter are never higher than 16°C. Plus during night, room temps are around 7°C. I never (nor my family) got ill during winter. I think that keeping a very warm rooms (24°C) in cold places is bad for your health. When you go outside, you are exposed to extreme changes in temperature in short times.

[@microcolonel]

@@rc4a0frios 18°C is not 24, but there is no evidence that 24 is dangerous. If nobody in your family ever got a seasonal illness, you likely wouldn't regardless, but where it matters, rooms should be kept around 19°C at a minimum, with ideally 30% humidity or so, to minimize these negative outcomes,

As a Filipino living in a tropical country, I wish to see & experience snow. But I don't know if I can bear that extreme cold. Through your video, I learn from your style of living & made me respect the much efforts you do to survive & to feel you warm. From your question on how we warm our home, no need but it is the other way around. We use native fan (pamaypay ), electric fan & aircondition unit to cool our place. And the best is we plunge to beaches & pool resorts to beat the heat.🌊🏊‍♂️ If I can just blow the hot weather & summer experience here in the Philippines, I would love to share it with you. 😊🌞⛱🏖 Sending my warm greetings from the Philippines.🇵🇭😊

Snow is a lot of fun for the first 5 minutes or maybe an hour. After that you're ready for it to go away. You have to shovel it out of the way or it becomes a walking/driving hazard. It's all beautiful white when it falls, but soon turns into gray slush that gets everything filthy. I would suggest someday visiting somewhere with snow, but where you're not committed to it. For instance in Albuquerque New Mexico (as in Breaking Bad) the Sandia Mountains overlook the city. When I was there it was jacket weather. There is a road on the backside of the mountains that takes you the whole way to the top. There was snow all over because of the elevation, even in the Fall.

I live in the middle parts of Finland, the winter lasts about 5-6 months spring and fall around 2 months and summer around 3. Temperatures range from +35 C to -35 C ( but usually around -10 winter and +20 in the summer). If you live in a city there is usually a central energy plant that will provide warmth and electricity to houses. if you live in a rural area you will either use wood or electricity but that option is very expensive and getting more expensive. If you can afford it there are modern ways to store and retrieve geothermal energy. Currently in Finland you could buy a house in the rural areas for what you will need to spend on rent for a 2-3 years when living in a city, but the cost of living because of gasoline and electricity prizes are so high it would be expensive to live there. Not to mention there are less jobs available in rural areas.

I'm in the northeast corner of the United States and the coldest temperature I have seen here is -42C. A typical January day is about -30C in the morning and warms to -17 during the day. The heating season starts in late October and goes until the end of April although there are a few days in September that are cold enough that I turn the heat on for a couple hours. My house was built with an oil burning furnace and I installed a wood stove when I moved in. Wood provides most of my heat and the oil turns on if I'm not home to put more wood in the stove. I also have a propane heater that doesn't use electricity that will turn on in a power outage to prevent the water pipes from frezing.

Hi Maria! Here in Kuopio, Finland we warm usually from September-October to May. Weather varies between +30-35 to -30-35 celsius degrees. Now, today we are having -15 celcius. We live in house that was built originally by my grandparents in 1955-56. We still have original watercycle radiator system, original douple glazed windows etc. Originally house had "Elveka" woodburning central heating boiler. Oilheater was added in 1963. Whole central heating boiler was changed after oil crises on 1973 to oil and wood burning unit. It is planned that an air to water heat pump will be added to system due Finnish high taxed oil price. 1,26€/ litre for heating oil now. A ground-source heating pump on this location would be very expensive due low ground water level. Neighbours had to drill two over 120 m deep holes to get their system to work. And the system would require new more heat transfer effective radiators or water cycle floorheating due water out from heat pump is 55-60 degrees max. Cheaper is to use smaller on power air to water heat pump up to -20-25 untill when the COP (Coefficient of performance) is good enough and by colder weather go by wood-oil burning boiler. Inside wintertime we keep +18-20 degrees celsius. We have about 330m2 heated area in our house. Anually oil consunption is about +-3000 litres with out woodburning, wich offcourse will deminnish need of oil. But heating by wood needs more work and the time is sometimes limited.

I live in Denmark. Our temperatures varies from 30C on the hottest summer days (It rarely goes up to 35C) and down to -10c in winter. (rarely -15c) We live in a normal brick house with hollow walls, insulated by granulated foam or wool blown into the walls. Our heating system is "earth heat" (Don't know the correct translation) cold water is pumped through pipes in the ground and heats up slightly, then the heat is transferred to a closed radiator system inside the house, and the cooled water is circled through the ground again. So the only energy used is electricity for the pump. We heat our house from October to April.

[@carletonrutherford1799]

In Canada we refer to that as Geothermal Heating and Cooling. Heat the house in the winter, and cool it in the summer. I live in Vancouver Canada, and the temperatures you experience are very similar to what we experience here. Maybe it gets to 28 degrees in the summer, and the very coldest it usually gets in the winter is -10, very seldom much lower. Most of the winter we don't go below freezing.

I am so ignorant, how geothermal heater is used? Is it warm air coming from underground? Or hot water source?

[@petergdk]

@@LifeinYakutia Water is circulating in underground pipes, and a heat pump (reverse refrigerator) extracts the excess heat from the water and uses that heat to make hot water for the radiators in the house. So for every 1 kWh of electricity you use you get about 5 kWh of heat :)

I lived in Minneapolis Minnesota for a while and it did get cold but as cold as where you are. All of the older houses had oil radiators. They just need to be bled once a year and each house usually had a natural gas-fed furnace of some sort in the basement. The key to surviving in cold temperatures is to get out as much as you can inn the colder months. It gets too dark and depressing inside too much. cool vlog.
