Heat in your home: In Canada, every home must be equipped with heat before the landlord or seller can rent out/ sell it
There are three ways to produce heat in a condo/house
1) Electricity -- heat (less than 10% of all households, very expensive), Kwok’s house $750/month in winter if I switch to electricity
2) Heating oil -- heat (the heating oil tank is buried under the house. Must be refilled regularly, messy, less expensive than electrical heat)
3) Natural Gas -- heat (most popular, 80+% of households, cheapest, natural gas is a cleaner burning fuel). Kwok’s house, about $250/month in winter
Inside your house/apartment/condo
- where is the warmest? Coldest room? Why
- bring back the science textbook
Inside your house/condo, where is the warmest/coldest room
|

Warmest Room |
Coldest Room |
|
House
|
- 2nd floor (or top floor) - living room (main floor, furnace is under the main floor) |
- basement - where all the large windows are (Sun room) |
|
Condo
|
- living room or bedrooms |
- den (large windows) - closet, bathrooms (no heated floor)
|

- inside a house, the main floor is warm because the furnace (convert natural gas into heat) is installed right below it
-inside a house, the basement usually is the coldest because cold air sinks and there are few vents to blow warm air in the basement
- inside a condo/apartment, the entire place should be fairly warm, except for the room with large windows (cold in winter, hot in the summer)
How can we use less heat in the winter to cut down on heating bills?
- wear sweatshirt or long sweatpants (turn heat down a bit)
- to be comfortable, the temperature should be set at 22°C. If you wear long pants/sweat shirts, can turn heat down to 20°C
- double layered windows (2 layer of glass on each window pane to reduce heat loss)
- front or garage door. Check to see if there is a long thin plastic at the bottom of the door (prevent cold air from coming into the house)
- read p. 181 to 184 (pay attention to the house diagram, p.183)
Furnace is always in the basement: hot air rises (motor fans the warm air all over the house)
- top floor is not as warm because the fan may not be powerful enough to blow enough wam air to the top floor
AC unit is outside the house: AC blows cool air into the house but at the same time, release warm/hot air as it cools
