  1. LMFAO the company I bought #smartthermostats from wants me to #beta test their newest model, in the #summer of all seasons of the year. Like why? My #thermostats are off all summer since they are for #baseboard #heaters, they should be doing the beta testing for this in #winter, do beta testing for the #AC & #heatpump thermostats in the summer instead. #smarthome

  2. It's been a while since I reported on our own #boat. Before coming to Cheshire I did manage to call in on the #mooring and remove the #heaters from her as, with any luck, there won't be any more #cold snaps that justify trying to stop the boat from #freezing.

    She really is beginning to look as if she needs a really good #clean. We had promised ourselves she'd be lifted out last #winter = but the house move got in the way and it was never arranged.

    Yes, propane! Most #narrowboats have #propane #cookers. It can also be used for #heating. Alde is probably the leading brand for producing #propane boilers for boats that will run radiators as a #domestic #boiler will.

    #Diesel #heaters are also popular. Eberspacher and Webasto being the main brands though many fit very competitively priced Chinese units, but I read somewhere that they are not approved for marine use and should they start a fire insurance would be invalid.

    A few #liveaboard boaters have larger Aga or Rayburn oil or solid fuel fired cookers that will also drive radiators

    I referred to #cooker rather than #stove deliberately. Almost all privately owned narrow boats have small traditional style #solidfuel
    (wood/coal) stoves fitted. On 19th century #boats theses would have been used both for heating and cooking. On modern boats they are usually stand alone heaters in the saloon, but some will be fitted with boilers and drive radiators elsewhere on the boat.

  4. Having put two #heaters aboard earlier in the week we decided we'd take the opportunity to check on them and see how warm the #Webasto #centralheating copes in the current extreme conditions. The forecast is for 1°C overnight.

    It was fully dark by the time we moored a mile upstream at the head of navigation at #Horstead #lock

    We plan to get down to #Wroxham #Bridge tomorrow and the return to our #mooring.

  5. *** UPDATE Serval House Heaters *** THANK YOU!!! There are now enough heaters for all four of the Serval/Caracal Buildings!!! All of the small cats will be toastie warm this winter. THANK YOU for the heaters, the donations, and all the likes, shares, and comments. Your support is truly truly appreciated!

  6. Warming is warming, but another #winter is coming and in different parts of the world people will be freezing. Not far from here, #Russia continues to destroy Ukrainian infrastructure, and #Ukraine is preparing for another hardcore winter.
    And this affects not only those fighting on the front lines, but also civilians in cities and rural areas.
    That's why we want to add our micro contribution to winter aid and take up the production of chemical warmers, disposable and reusable.
    - Reusable ones (sodium thiosulfate or sodium acetate with a mechanical trigger) in the form of larger and smaller pads, as well as inserts for vests (first aid for hypothermia).
    - Disposable in the form of shoe and gloves inserts (catalytic iron oxidation),

    We are looking for people willing to develop prototypes from publicly available materials, which we will test, publish documentation (under a C0 license) and put into production. We do not intend to sell it. We will collect donations to cover the costs, and the produced heaters will go to medical and aid groups."

  7. Biden Administration plans water heater standards, says they will save consumers $11 billion

    The U.S. Department of Energy on Friday proposed #energy #efficiency #standards on #water #heaters it said would save consumers $11.4 billion on energy and water bills annually.

    The standards on residential water heater efficiency, which are required by Congress, have not been updated in 13 years.

    Water heating is responsible for roughly 13% of both annual residential energy use and consumer utility costs, the DOE said.

  9. CW: Vintage nudity

    Yesterday Pierrette, a fellow conservator, joined me on a romp through some local #antiques #shops in #Carmarthen and we saw some cool #vintage things. Some more suggestive than others! 😂

    I love going to shops like this, but going with another collections care professional was extra fun!

    Heaters are also not providing a valueable service.

    Gripes with #NFTs and #climateCoins are fully understandable, but lumping, conflating, associating bitcoin into this argument is disingenuous. It exists for good reason and we encourage all to run a full node (not mine per se).

    BitcoinMiners are multitasking #heaters. There's many places where people run heaters when they don't need to. Tell em to rug up for emissions savings.

    Bitcoin solves overconsumption.
