Does running hot showers really use up a lot of heat?

It depends on how much water you use up, but also on the size of your hot water tank (the larger the tank, the more heat it takes up). Usually the tanks aren't too big in apartments, but hot water is still a significant cost.

What is your typical heating bill? Aeryn - 18/11/2010 04:09:25 PM 897 Views
Is this the kind of thing where prices differ across states? Rebekah - 18/11/2010 04:13:44 PM 523 Views
everything varies. Aeryn - 18/11/2010 04:18:17 PM 522 Views
Ah. Rebekah - 18/11/2010 04:23:14 PM 533 Views
A thermogrpahic audit is the best way, however... Isaac - 18/11/2010 04:39:26 PM 576 Views
Very much, unfortunately. Joel - 18/11/2010 04:53:00 PM 567 Views
I'm not talking about overall bill. Rebekah - 18/11/2010 05:52:07 PM 536 Views
That tends to vary as well, I believe; supply and demand and all that. Joel - 18/11/2010 09:42:41 PM 572 Views
I heat with wood, so I can't help you. *NM* Avendesora - 18/11/2010 04:21:58 PM 326 Views
I miss a logfire so very much. It's the most comfortable heat. <3 *NM* Rebekah - 18/11/2010 04:23:57 PM 229 Views
Well... Avendesora - 18/11/2010 04:28:34 PM 615 Views
That seems really carbon-intensive, actually. Ghavrel - 19/11/2010 12:48:31 AM 617 Views
Creating heat is a big deal. Avendesora - 19/11/2010 02:11:40 AM 542 Views
Yeah, it's interesting. I'm going to try to find something out about that. Ghavrel - 19/11/2010 02:49:54 AM 494 Views
Funny, you always struck me as more of a family person. *NM* Birdeye - 18/11/2010 07:11:12 PM 251 Views
Huh? I don't get it. *NM* Avendesora - 18/11/2010 10:41:49 PM 288 Views
I got it. I know, delayed reaction. *NM* Avendesora - 18/11/2010 10:45:23 PM 307 Views
In the winter it's about $300 for a 1500-sq. ft. condo. Tom - 18/11/2010 04:57:37 PM 530 Views

not very high, but I don't use much heating until I NEED it. LadyLorraine - 18/11/2010 05:43:29 PM 579 Views
small heaters. Aeryn - 18/11/2010 06:29:33 PM 474 Views
I don't think they'd be efficient for the whole apartment/house. LadyLorraine - 18/11/2010 07:03:04 PM 486 Views
