Heating thread

How do you survive the colder seasons?
How expensive is that? Is the situation considered okay by the locals?

I bought a heater because my jewish landlords refuse to turn up the central heating

>central heating
>included in rent
>it's normal

It is between 5-10 Celcius but winda makes everything terrible.

One electric heater in my main room, set on 15-16, I don't heat the kitchen and bathroom.
35€/month in winter, not too expensive even for a NEET

I used electric this winter. It's horribly expensive but the next best thing is AC heating and I hate the air quality, I only run my AC in summer when it get unbearably hot.

Lots of people use gas nowdays, also oil-fired heaters and ACs are pretty common. Central heating is getting less common since the crisis.

We either have central heating or gas. The so-called autonomous gas heating means you have an own gas boiler at your appartment. Gas is expensive, but you get to regulate the temperature yourself. Those from the countryside sometimes still burn wood and coal for heat. Those in the towns might decide to cut themselves off from the central heating and use either air conditioners or electric heaters. Those are also popular in gov buildings and educational institutions, since the radiators there are mostly from soviet era. Many ed.institutions, including top universities, set longer winter holidays to leave the building unused at the coldest times.

I've heard particulary of Greece that the situation with the heating is pretty terrible and not everyone can afford getting warm. Did you have enough heat or did you try to keep it turned on for just enough time to aviod getting frozen?

What do you wear at home?

my parents have solar panels and the fireplace for heating the living room, it's cozy as fuck bros

So only the living room is heated?
Thank you for the photo, sweet cat you have there.

for the other rooms they have electric heating which is partly powered by the solar panels on the roof, apparently it is cheaper in the long run.
also thanks it is a nice old kitter.

You should've got it butthurt and REEEE, that would last longer.

A 2kW heater won't do much if the outside temp goes below 10C. Not all rooms are heated, and not all of the time. It's a shitty situation DESU, the room is never warm enough.

If you can afford to get natural gas installed for your apartment or have an oil boiler and good insulation you can have a nice warm place for cheap.
I don't have enough money for this so I suffer.

I would get a wood stove but I'm afraid of CO poisoning, and I don't know if I can get wood delivered up an apartment.

I just put on a sweater, climate change destroyed our winter. When I was a child it would get to 0°C as if it was nothing, nowadays it is rare to have a day with a temperature lower than 12°C.

>but I'm afraid of CO poisoning
That's right, better cold than dead cold. Do you have any carpets?

Sounds scary.

actually i don't know
it's just warm at home. I all winter wear t-shirts

Good central heating, and your mum pays for the appartment?

Central heating included in apartment rent, wear underwear while alone home. Parents live in an old farmhouse in the woods so they chop logs in the summer to heat with and supplement with electrical radiators if needed, usually not because their house has a massive masonry oven in the middle of it that keeps radiating a lot of heat throughout the whole house for a really long time even after heating.

Sounds totally surviveable

Central heating gives 24-28C indoor so you can wear only trousers. Costs about 50 usd more in winter per month for me.

Looks a tad more expensive than francebro , but also with significantly better result.
We seem to have it around 25 at max, and I wear a sweather at the coldest days.

Remote heating, insulated pipes deliver hot water to urban apartments. It's included in the rent and individual measurement is coming along to keep the temperatures within a sensible range.

my mum and dad do that.
anyway it's big enough for 3 people...

I don't say it like it's a bad thing. :3

Sweatpants and a t-shirt most of the time, I put a sweater on when it's really cold outside and the heater on 15 is not quite enough to be comfy

>How do you survive the colder seasons?
Literally by opening windows wide every other fucking hour to let some cold fresh air in
Central heating here is fucking retarded, the pipes are so hot you can't touch them and the room turns into a fucking sauna real quick

It's nice and warm inside, I only wear underwear and tshirt.
