Ah, they are indeed much more efficient than your standard immersion.Think it was called an economiser at the time I put it in so probably not much worse than kettle.
Yes, but you can turm off the radiators in your appartment, to suggest otherwise is bizarre. Of course, you have to look after your appartment to a certain standard, as determined by your local appmt housing committee, which I was once a part of.That's not true, many of the larger complexes use a district heating model that is centrally controlled. Germany have specific legislation in place governing the temperatures these must operate at within the living accommodation itself, with mandatory and significant rent reductions if targets are missed. There are discussions underway currently about reducing the minimum temperatures,
Just a little reminder, but the comment was that temperature would be reduced centrally. and you suggested that wasn't the case and people could 'can do whatever they please', and 'heat their homes to whatever they please'. So clearly you were not aware that central control is common.Yes, but you can turm off the radiators in your appartment, to suggest otherwise is bizarre.
Back to the 80s, throw another coat on the bed if you are cold and ignore the ice on the inside of the windows !
Joking aside, Supply will be one thing, but the price will also help reduce demand, some people will struggle to afford it and almost all of us will be reducing usage to reduce the bull
I live in Switzerland where our winter temperature is between -15c and -25c. We have gas heating on tap as opposed to from a tank. However like most Swiss houses, ours is very well insulated so if we get to turn on the heating once every three days we should be fine. There is not much you can do about gas shortages but perhaps you can improve your insulation so that it stays warmer longer.There are stories about certain German cities turning off lights on public buildings and tourist sites, and forcing citizens to have cold showers in light of gas shortages that are coming down the tracks.
I know that Ireland has a different gas supply route, but it is likely that we will suffer gas / electricity shortages in the coming months, it would seem. How are you planning to prepare for these events? I am just thinking about my elderly parents and what I can do to prepare them for gas and electricity shortages. I’ve already got them a few torches and candles et cetera but I am sure I could do more.

I'm not sure why you think the ability to turn down heating is relevant in the context of a forced reduction in temperature.

That’s the point of the thread rather than people nitpick about whether municipal showers are showers used by German citizens.
I’d imagine if the rest of the EU is cut off from gas a significant portion of the North Sea supply would be redirected there, so we’d all end up with a small bit rather than us having no reductions and Germans freezing to death in their homes? I don’t personally think it will come to pass, but if it did I think it would be a mistake to assume we’ll continue to have a sufficient gas supply or consistent electricity given how much is generated with gas. If you’re buying electrical appliances in-case-of-emergency you should be considering either a method to generate your own electricity or how to store some from the periods when the grid amid supplying (eg. an 8kWh battery you might get with a solar panel system).You'll have gas since it originates mostly from North sea. However the price will be very expensive.
There must be a bit of gas left next door to the Kinsale Head Gas field?
Not worth saving €2 for unless you have a thirsty chainsaw. I get a full cube cut with 0.5 l.I hope to prune a couple of 100 metres of overgrown Ash trees after the bird nesting season ends on the last day of August.
Hopefully it should yield enough timber for the winter.
Thinking of using a hand saw to save on the petrol for the chainsaw.
Corrib could be our saving grace this winter and next. For another debate re selling it and taxation on it. Even if their rolling rationing of Gas across the country. Gas Power plants would not be cut as Electrical is universally neaded by ever citizen. But don't think we will get to this point.There will be no shortages of gas in Ireland. We get a little less than half our gas from the Corrib field and the rest from the UK.
"Natural gas in Ireland is currently supplied by a combination of domestic production and imports via pipeline from Scotland. In 2019, 53% of Ireland’s natural gas use was imported from the UK." https://www.gov.ie/en/policy-information/f1ecf1-gas/#:~:text=Natural gas in Ireland is,was imported from the UK.
However, the price of gas could continue to go up.
