Why would a water based system cost more in a power outage?

The pipes freeze and burst.

While it's running?!?

Power outage? Running?

Ever heard of lagging? It should take a very long time to freeze up pipes. And central heating pipes tend to be inside the house, the chances of the inside of the house falling below freezing are pretty slim.

usually under that tray and evaporates the water into the air in the

I've never seen a steam radiator. The water ones in the UK require manual venting. And most of the air in my system gets jammed in the pump, stopping the whole system from producing any heat. Then I have to clamber up into the attic and release the air from a struggling pump, which is probably damaging itself.

So, not better than forced air, then.

Our water based CH doesn't get any air in it. If plumbed in properly, it
won't let any air in.

From what I've read it's hydrogen from rusting radiators. Are your radiators quite new? Mine were here when I moved in 18 years ago.

There were steam radiators at the old Catholic Parochial gulag I attended in the 1950's and as I recall the vent on the side of the radiators was always hissing and spitting out a bit of steam. Then the diocese built a modern new school that had through the wall units under the windows. I don't recall if they were AC units since it was a long time ago but come to think of it, it was cooler during the summer months inside the new school. ^_^

You must have some pretty fragile glass there if vibrating the frame

My point is to move a picture you must be shaking the entire wall. That's a lot of shaking.

This was just a momentary thing as the compressor cycled down, not a
constant vibration. The new ones don't really do that. These were old
piston compressors that were huge compared to the ones today. A 1 ton

they'd have lots of air inside them.

The trouble is they aren't automatic. And it assumes that the

It has been 50 years since I was around a radiator but the ones
we had
in my high school had some kind of vent on the side that seemed
to be
letting air/steam out a lot.

There were steam radiators at the old Catholic Parochial gulag I
attended in the 1950's and as I recall the vent on the side of the
radiators was always hissing and spitting out a bit of steam. Then
the diocese built a modern new school that had through the wall units
under the windows. I don't recall if they were AC units since it was
a long time ago but come to think of it, it was cooler during the
summer months inside the new school. ^_^

[8~{} Uncle Tortured Monster

Replying to your sig.... were you tortured by priests when younger?

No, I was tortured by nuns. My first-grade teacher was an American
nun named Sister Godzilla then in the second grade, the diocese
imported Irish nuns who believe in capital punishment for small
children. I had it rough as a kid. The priests were never mean to me.
^_^

Sounds fun to me, why are you objecting?

What I experienced as a kid is the main reason I don't like people who
hurt children. I've been known to body slam someone for hurting a
small child. I couldn't physically deter anyone today which is why I
have a pistol. O_o

Hurt? I'd have loved as a child to have an older woman molest me.
What's the big deal? It's every kid's dream!


Obviously you've never been to a Catholic school. I presume there must
be young nuns but I think they keep them back at the convent scrubbing
floors until they reach 65 and are allowed to teach.

I said woman. A nun is as much of a woman as a monk is a man.


A nun is more of a woman than Caitlin Jenner -- or Sophia Hutchins.

Direct vent gas fireplaces also do not let out heat or make you

Yes those are fine, I was referring to the old fashioned coal/wood
fireplaces that belong two centuries ago.


I had a flat in an old brownstone that had three fireplaces, one fake,
one real, and one with a gas log. The real one was handy for
breaking up
the furniture and tossing it in on cold nights. Twelve foot ceilings,
marginal heating, and lots of glass, it was a real Victorian wonder.

We call those "iceboxes"

The 12 foot ceilings are nice. I detest the cramped modern houses with
only 8 foot ceilings.

It had tin ceilings. The landlord sprung for the materials if I would
paint the place. Painting a tin ceiling off a high stepladder is a paint

If you're getting paint in your ass you're really clumsy.

but it was nowhere near as bad as the French doors. I'm not

In places where a swamp cooler works, a little more humidity isn't a

Why does anyone want humidity? If it's hot, humid air makes it feel
hotter, as your sweat can't evaporate so easily. In cold weather, the
damp cools you down more. So it's never wanted.


30-35% is OK vs 15%. you can also smell better, hence the name swamp.
I had
swamp cooler both in Army and home, 7 years.

Smell better? You mean less BO? Or an increased ability to detect
things with your nose?


Detect things with your nose. It's been raining so the humidity is up a
bit. When I was out in the woods yesterday it was pleasant to smell the
pines and firs. There's something like lilacs lining the drive at work
and they're in bloom. They smelled nice today.

Even in the desert when it rains you can really smell the creosote bush.

Are you sure that's your nose working better? I always thought it was
because the smell coming from x is evaporating into the air.

Why would a water based system cost more in a power outage?

The pipes freeze and burst.

While it's running?!?

Power outage? Running?

Ever heard of lagging? It should take a very long time to freeze up
pipes. And central heating pipes tend to be inside the house, the
chances of the inside of the house falling below freezing are pretty slim.

That's ok, you can cool off in the waterfall.

BTW, there's another Victoria falls, slightly smaller, in Scotland.

Does it have crocodiles?

Most likely not. I think the UK only has those in zoos.

All water central heating radiators have air vents. If they didn't,
they'd have lots of air inside them.

The trouble is they aren't automatic. And it assumes that the vents are always where the air collects. I often get air stuck in the middle of some piping, or in the pump.

It has been 50 years since I was around a radiator but the ones we had
in my high school had some kind of vent on the side that seemed to be
letting air/steam out a lot.

There were steam radiators at the old Catholic Parochial gulag I attended in the 1950's and as I recall the vent on the side of the radiators was always hissing and spitting out a bit of steam. Then the diocese built a modern new school that had through the wall units under the windows. I don't recall if they were AC units since it was a long time ago but come to think of it, it was cooler during the summer months inside the new school. ^_^

No, I was tortured by nuns. My first-grade teacher was an American nun named Sister Godzilla then in the second grade, the diocese imported Irish nuns who believe in capital punishment for small children. I had it rough as a kid. The priests were never mean to me. ^_^

That is why we have a fake one. It is a Dimco and the fire looks
pretty real (not just a roller wrapped in crumpled foil with a

using a
few watts of power but there is a 1.44KW heater in there that is
plenty to warm the living room.

Direct vent gas fireplaces also do not let out heat or make you
listen to the neighbour's dog .

Yes those are fine, I was referring to the old fashioned coal/wood
fireplaces that belong two centuries ago.


I had a flat in an old brownstone that had three fireplaces, one
fake,
one real, and one with a gas log. The real one was handy for
breaking up
the furniture and tossing it in on cold nights. Twelve foot
ceilings,
marginal heating, and lots of glass, it was a real Victorian wonder.

We call those "iceboxes"

The 12 foot ceilings are nice. I detest the cramped modern houses
with
only 8 foot ceilings.

It had tin ceilings. The landlord sprung for the materials if I would
paint the place. Painting a tin ceiling off a high stepladder is a
paint
in the ass

If you're getting paint in your ass you're really clumsy.

but it was nowhere near as bad as the French doors. I'm not
the person you send to pick out colors so I would up with coral and
aqua
or some damn thing on the walls. I'd just finished when a friend
stopped
by and said "Pink and blue! Is this for a nursery?'

Only women care about colours.
