Yes obviously; I'd die here without it!
I'd rather have control over it as opposed to just central radiator heat; since the start of winter I've seen a 27 F range in bedroom temps purely based on when the heater decides to turn on. Mid 60s aren't fun, and lower 90s aren't fun either!

shit. Such buildings should be demolished. This is what made Europe dependent on Russian gas.
Babu put the heating on full power just for the lolz.

I live in Wisconsin. It's an absolute necessity here.

Yes, but it is not really needed here (at least for me). My dad NEEDS it, as his resistance in general doesn't exist

My parents are very sensitive to cold and need to keep their radiators on all winter long, even though they lived without heating most of their lives. Last time I visited them it felt like their entire house was above 30C. It seems like you get more sensitive to cold as you get older. |

I guess it is because as you get older, your heart becomes less effective, and your capillaries (little blood vessels) and arteries (away from heart) become less elastic; reducing the efficiency of our circulatory system. |

Mid 60s aren't fun, and lower 90s aren't fun either! Wut? And I thought I had the most heating system of the forum! It's 77 F (25 C) in my room right now and 76 F (24 C) in the living room - basically my optimum indoor temperature so I'm not complaining. I sleep with the door closed, so just you watch, it'll probably be at least 84 in here and 79 in the living room by morning. The same effect took place in my bedroom at my parents' house growing up, though at least there, I had the ability to open and close a vent for temperature control. I got good at making sure it was nice and cozy without waking up in a sweat. My dad didn't like when I'd have it open all the way because "you're stealing heat from the rest of the house!" (What heat? You keep this place barely any warmer than the refrigerator!) |
