Default Electric home heating question

Setting the room temperature to low and closing the door for long periods,
will cause condensation to form if the door is opened and then closed
again if the differential is greater than roughly 25 degrees on the other
side.


In most cases, we are probalylooking at a 10 degree differential.


Change light bulbs to lower wattage and shut them off when not in use.


Where does the heat from the high wattage bulbs go? Intot he room that yow
ant to heat anyway. YOu'd be right for AC, not for heating.


Plan out meals and cook foods that do not require long cooking times.
A toaster oven is cheaper to run than a stove.


Wrong. The heat from the oven heats the house. Nothing is lost in the
winter.
