Winter and fireplaces
Return to DiscussionsI have an ethanol fireplace in my library/guest room. The last couple of mornings have been lighting it for an hour or two. We have hot water radiant floor, and heat the house to 80F which is just so comfortable in cold weather.
Must be expensive to have a house that warm in Canada in the winter!
Natural gaz is cheaper than electricity to run our furnace. There is 5 inches of concrete on top of the radiant water pipes, and the floors and walls of the foundation are well insulated with closed cell spray foam (urethane) and so the floors hold the heat and radiate it. Best heating for our cold winters. We did that Reno in 2019. If we compare, it costs the same to heat 2 floors with natural gas as it did to heat one floor with electricity, so can't complain and take full advantage of it.
I'm starting to crank up my wood stove, a chill is in the air. Also enjoying the hot tub and my enclosed front porch which is facing south and heats up like an oven during the daytime.
I live in a building and my unit is above the boiler and furnace, so during the colder months I'm nice and warm (sometimes too warm,) but I would rather get nude and warm up in front of a fireplace or by a woodstove with a fellow nudist/naturist, sharing a pizza or some Chinese take-out while watching a good movie, listening to music, maybe even massaging each others back and legs. Such a setting with hottub access would be the best! Not many homes in Boston with fireplaces, let alone a hottub :-(
