eyecatcher Posted January 26, 2016 Share Posted January 26, 2016 I sit here now with two hot water bottles under my hoodie sweater; I have two pairs of socks and the only heat source we have is the outside cooker. I have been driving around in the car, but you soon realise they dont have a heater vent from the engine......only cold air Was quite happy to make a nice outside fire; but not much chance of that until it stops raining; so instead I decided to open the fridge door to warm up the room. No doubt it will be bikinis back on tomorrow. lets hope so; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I think it's more and more common in cars in this country. The higher level model pick-ups even get them (Toyota, Mitsubishi) and SUVs of course (Fortuner, Everest, etc.) even in the entry level models. It's great this is finally added to more affordable cars. Not sure about home air conditioners that also heat though.. Anyone know if that's available? (Then with some double glazing added we'd be ready for the Ice Age that's clearly upon us.) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heybruce Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 All electricity used inside your home or apartment is converted to heat. You can pump more heat into your home or apartment by turning down the temperature in your refrigerator, the heat that comes out of the refrigerator goes into the surrounding environment. Turn on everything--TV, computer, lights, etc, and you will have many electric heaters in operation. Distributing this heat, and paying for the electricity, is up to you.

slapout Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 Daughter and 3 friends are having a confab on the front deck of our house (covered by extended roof) table full of food, drinking a little gin and beer with 2 of those Thai concrete buckets used for BBQ fired up with charcoal. I went out and it was quite warm setting around the glowing coals. kids /20 yearrs old can make us old folks look like panzies sometimes. i suggested bring 1 of the bbq into the house for me, and got a lecture on carbon monoxide, etc. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cyberfarang Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 In emergency cases: Also a vacuum cleaner or a hairdryer (as well as any other electric device) transform all consumed electric energy into heat. Using a hairdryer to heat up a room is a bad idea. These devices are not designed to run for long periods and are likely to overheat and burn out. Besides that the only way to keep warm using a hairdryer would be to put the thing on your lap blowing directly on to you. Don`t think I would fancy running a vacuum cleaner for hours with all the noise they make. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Besides that the only way to keep warm using a hairdryer would be to put the thing on your lap blowing directly on to you. Or, blowing under the blanket/duvet when in bed. Just to warm things up, not to let run continuously of course. And making sure the air intake is not obstructed. It works VERY well though.

slapout Posted January 30, 2016 Share Posted January 30, 2016 I slept in a bedroom whose temp was the same as outside. in winter a pan of water would freeze in th room (solid). my grandmother had a couple bed warmers that she would use to warm up the quilts we slept between. she used hot coals from heating stove (warm morning) brand to heat the bed, I jumped in while it was warm and slept comfortably. the bed warmers are probably worth some money in todays market places, as antiques, but were the norm of the day before central heat, etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FolkGuitar Posted January 31, 2016 Share Posted January 31, 2016 A large pan of water simmering on a butane stove in the living room kept our apartment comfortably warm. I moved it into the bathroom 10 minutes before showering to warm up that room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
