emergency heating of home with hot water tank
wrote:
Saw a post recently where somene tried heating their home during a
power outage by snaking a garden hose thru home connected to their hot
water tank, dumping the presumedly cool water in their bathtub and
running it slowly. kinda ingenious emergency raiant floor heating.
I wonder how well this would work? my furnace is a 40 year old lennox
130,000 BTU my curren hot water tank is 75,000 BTU.
live in pittsburgh, where it might be below 20 or even zero on
occasion
would it be better to spread the hose thruout the home or concentrate
in basement since heat rises? mine is 2 storys with basement.
probably best to close off most rooms and just keep some warm.
I have a emergency generator but believe in always be prepared
any thoughts on this idea?
Games I like to play!
