It's cold outside, trying to put some heat in the house without running the electric bill way up

[@briankinnear7461]

Great idea. I know up here electric heat is far, far more expensive then natural gas. I have heard of people using the super-high efficiency electric heaters in each room and having motion- sensor thermostats in each room where the thermostat keeps the room at a constant 60F-65F and then raises it to 68F-70F when someone enters the room. Could also do the same thing with timer thermostats where you warm the house up just before people normally come home and then lower it when they leave in the morning. Thanks for sharing. Be safe and stay well.

@@timwindsor03 We really haven't gotten much snow here. Was 40° here yesterday and melted half of it, can see the grass in spots. But tonight the temperature is dropping out the bottom. The high tomorrow is going to be almost 10° colder than it is right now lol.

I would look at some mini-splits with hyperheat technology. I like to keep the house 70F year round.

[@popholmes5825]

I have a mini split unit keeps my house warm in winter and cool in summer and saves me 30% over what I was paying on electric. Love this thing it's the way to go.

@@resistor--1816 I was looking at the Mr Cool heater/air conditioner. Wondering how they work. Problem is I can't afford the initial cost to even get it. I'll have to keep my 52° house 🤣🤣

I would put in three wood stovesand crank them too,and in the summer switch to gas heat

[@victorxavier9977]

Electric heat yikes! Definitely need to switch out for another heating system.

Electric heat can get expensive. You might consider either a wood stove or a pellet stove.

@@mlieser1230 This house has a fireplace. Been years since it's been used. I need to have it checked and cleaned or something. Then there's getting the wood which is a lot of work. When I have so much to do it's hard to keep up with everything.

@@chefshadetree3972 Having a fireplace is a big advantage. It's not hard to clean a chimney if you don't mind climbing on the roof. You can inspect the flue easily by shining a bright light down the chimney. Make sure that there aren't any loose bricks or deteriorated mortar joints. It's not hard to point chimney joints. Wood can be had for free as the towns typically leave trimmed limbs on the ground for the taking. Free pallets can be had and are easily sawed up. Stay away from pine and spruce wood.

@@mlieser1230 The fireplace has a big chimney on it. When my dad built it he combined it with a wood burner in the basement also. So it has 2 different/separate chimneys inside it. If you can get what I'm trying to explain. I might have to do a video on it someday.

Heat from a cardboard box.... novel idea.
