highly insulated air tight house, it doesnt matter what fuel you consume to heat the house once the heat is trapped within.
concur with my thoughts or am I incorrect? Thanks, apple1
the hardest and most expensive water to heat is between 0-10 degrees
i installed solar panels last october,am very pleased with them as they saved me money straight away.
the one thing i noticed when researching is the price veriation,so be carful,one co' quoted twice the price for the job i had done and they also wanted me to get my own plumber as they didn't do the final fixing;lol,then they all blame each other if you have problems,i don't know if i can mention companies so i wont at this stage but the after sales service was fantastic and still is from the co' i chose.
anyway getting back,they heat the water in the winter between 30-40 degrees,on average,the lowest was about 18,the hardest and most expensive water to heat is between 0-10 degrees,my point is i can have a tank of hot water in 10-15 mins which is very little oil usage,so i've saved in excess of a tank of oil last winter.
on a second note a lady was telling me about geotermal,where they lay the pipes in the ground and draw the heat from the earth,well the husband didn't believe it,"not here in ireland",so insisted on having the oil installed,that was two years ago,they haven't used a drop of oil.wish i had done it.
No- it takes the same amount of energy to raise it from 1 deg. to 11 deg. as from 80 deg. to 90 deg.Is this true ?
Does it take more energy/time to raise the temp of water from 0 to 10 degrees than from 25 to 35 degrees ?
What's the explanation for this, or do I need to go back to my Physics class, or my common sense class ?
