I live in Ontario, Canada, and I'm about 30min outside of what most people would consider "civilization." As a result, and also a result in living in a heavy minnonite area, the only heating we have is propane, and that is super expensive. To heat my home at 16 degrees celsius , it costs about $400 for the month. It doesn't help that it's an old house that I'm slowly renovating to improve the insulation and structure, but for the time being, my wife and I keep it at 10, using a wood stove in the living room, and wear a sweater.
- AdrianB1 6y agoAround here (Eastern Europe too) people insulate their houses pretty well for a very long time. 2 weeks ago I had a power outage (heating was also off) for a day and the temperature inside was pretty good (~18C) when outside it was freezing. We also used to use a lot of wood in stoves for heating and in most rural areas this is the main way to heat up at winter, can't you do the same? $400 for heating looks a bit too high, with a few thousand dollars you can insulate a small house if you do it yourself.
