Thank you for your questions!
How cold does it get where you are?
I am in the north east of the USA. The coldest it gets during the winter is single digits at the worst. Most times around 20s. (Freedom units)
Do you have good insulation?
Nope! This house has none. The rooms I have renovated have a bit but the rest of the house has nothing haha.
What kind of ambient temperatures are you getting in any given room with a radiator?
Since the heat is essentially free/very cheap, I leave the heat up higher than normal, maybe around 73 on the first floor. I have to exhaust the heat at night to sleep since it gets as hot as 75-80 degrees upstairs.
Are you getting enough sats to reduce your electricity bill and if so by how much e.g. 5%, 50%?
The sats stacked fluctuate around break even or +/- 10% profit loss. But remember from the post, as long as I am losing the equivalent or less dollars than the old oil bill, it is "positive" to me. If it's break even, then its free heat. If its less then its really cheap heat. And if its positive then I am being paid to heat and shower :)
Your questions will make it into the next version of this writeup, thank you!
Again, totally amazing. Can't wait to get stuck into this. Thank you for your responses, no further Qs at this time! That is very warm given there is no insulation and the time of year where are.
