--- Quote from: Zucca on July 05, 2022, 12:27:29 am --- --- Quote from: tggzzz on July 02, 2022, 09:22:44 am ---In the UK gas is much cheaper than electricity, and is commonly used for central heating, water heating, and cooking. --- End quote --- I have two problems with gas. 1) Look at the efficiency of my gas water heater: I can't sleep at night when I thing that 38% of my DHW gas (bill) is going to heat up the sky/stars. 2) BTW: I adore climate town YT channel. That's why I am switching to a Rheem Pro Terra --- End quote --- Except that generating and delivering an equivalent amount of heat as electricity is an order of magnitude less efficient than burning the natural gas directly to heat your food or water. No matter what mumbo-jumbo they're spouting, you still need to expend a certain amount of kilocalories to heat a galllon of water or to cook a dozen eggs. You want to really save energy and minimize your CF, get a more efficient washer and dryer and keep the gas heater and stove. Get a more efficient gas water heater; current models extract so much of the heat they vent through 2inch PVC. mnem :=\ |

Not sure why someone hacked-in a 7 segments display ? https://www.ebay.com/itm/134158692838 --- End quote --- IIRC, that "digit" is just a long neon bulb for a "1". I don't believe there is an actual digit, is there? mnem *knocks self unconscious with a nixie mallet* |
