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 1130 Views
Is this the kind of thing where prices differ across states? Rebekah - 18/11/2010 04:13:44 PM 762 Views
everything varies. Aeryn - 18/11/2010 04:18:17 PM 753 Views
Ah. Rebekah - 18/11/2010 04:23:14 PM 750 Views
A thermogrpahic audit is the best way, however... Isaac - 18/11/2010 04:39:26 PM 795 Views
Very much, unfortunately. Joel - 18/11/2010 04:53:00 PM 799 Views
I'm not talking about overall bill. Rebekah - 18/11/2010 05:52:07 PM 767 Views
That tends to vary as well, I believe; supply and demand and all that. Joel - 18/11/2010 09:42:41 PM 785 Views
I heat with wood, so I can't help you. *NM* Avendesora - 18/11/2010 04:21:58 PM 432 Views
I miss a logfire so very much. It's the most comfortable heat. <3 *NM* Rebekah - 18/11/2010 04:23:57 PM 328 Views
Well... Avendesora - 18/11/2010 04:28:34 PM 842 Views
That seems really carbon-intensive, actually. Ghavrel - 19/11/2010 12:48:31 AM 847 Views
Creating heat is a big deal. Avendesora - 19/11/2010 02:11:40 AM 784 Views
Yeah, it's interesting. I'm going to try to find something out about that. Ghavrel - 19/11/2010 02:49:54 AM 738 Views
Funny, you always struck me as more of a family person. *NM* Birdeye - 18/11/2010 07:11:12 PM 365 Views
Huh? I don't get it. *NM* Avendesora - 18/11/2010 10:41:49 PM 374 Views
I got it. I know, delayed reaction. *NM* Avendesora - 18/11/2010 10:45:23 PM 397 Views
In the winter it's about $300 for a 1500-sq. ft. condo. Tom - 18/11/2010 04:57:37 PM 763 Views

not very high, but I don't use much heating until I NEED it. LadyLorraine - 18/11/2010 05:43:29 PM 827 Views
small heaters. Aeryn - 18/11/2010 06:29:33 PM 724 Views
I don't think they'd be efficient for the whole apartment/house. LadyLorraine - 18/11/2010 07:03:04 PM 713 Views
